[Intro]
G C G C G C

[Verse 1]
                   C
I\'m beginning to like you
                          G
But, you know that ain\'t right
                     D
\'Cause you\'ll just twist and 
twist and twist
                       G
Till I\'m all crooked inside
                          C
Then you\'ll take all you gave me
                    G
Like it never was there
        D
And I think that I might,
No! I know
                       G
Yes, I will help you there
\'Cause....

[Chorus]
                G
I\'ve done it before
 C              G
And I\'d do it again
                 D
\'Cause it\'s the only time
That makes me feel like I\'m
               G

[Verse 2]
                    C
I\'m a victim of friction
                    G
I got too close to see
            D
Yeah, we sparked in the dark
                        G
And God hung a light on me
                        C
And the lamp gets real heavy
                G
Hangs from my heart
         D
And it comes
And it goes
Till I can\'t tell the 
             G
difference apart
But....

[Chorus]
                G
I\'ve done it before
 C              G
And I\'d do it again
                 D
\'Cause it\'s the only time
That makes me feel like I\'m
               G

[Verse 3]
          D
So many people say
                      G
I\'ll never work out that way
            B7
You can\'t stand the heat
While you\'re watching your 
            C
heart just melt away
                      A
In the basement on a rainy day
D
La la la
C
La la la
Bm
La la la
            D
La la la La La.....

[Verse 4]
                         C
There\'s a motel in Shreveport
                      G
Don\'t ask me where, please
           D
They check in
They check out
                            G
By the light of the color T.V.\'s
                     C
The maid calls you Honey
                     G
She makes your bed slow
           D
And she speaks
Of the sheets That don\'t fit
                        G
But you know that she knows

[Chorus]
                G
I\'ve done it before
 C              G
And I\'d do it again
                 D
\'Cause it\'s the only time
That makes me feel like I\'m
               G
