Intro
E E
[Verse 1]
G# F#
Some girls you meet seem so complete
A E
Like they don't need nothing from you
G# F#m
They're out to show you they don't want to know you
A E
When deep inside they do
G# F#
Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else
A E
She was alone, thought I'd give it a try
G# F#
I was a young bull stomping in the field
A (E E)
I saw red when she walked by
[Chorus]
B (G# D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(F# A) (G# D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
G# F#
I had to think fast, I watched her walk past
A E
I knew I would have my way
G# F#
So I swaggered up, I mean I staggered up
A E
But I didn't have a damn thing to say
G# F#
Now, two handed strategy always works well for me
A E
So I slipped my hands around her waist
G# F#
I swore it was the right move, feeling so smooth
A (E E)
Till she backhanded me across my face
[Chorus]
B (G# D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(F# A) (G#m D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
[Sax Solo]
A F# A F# (C#m B) E
[Verse 3]
G# F#
To make a long story short, she finally got caught
A E
I had to tell her enough is enough
G#
She said, "You're just what I needed", and boy
F# A
She nearly pleaded with me not to be too rough
[Chorus]
B (G# D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(F# A) (G#m D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
B (G# D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(F# A) (G#m D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
B (G# D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(F# A) (G#m D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
