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