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