[Bm] Love is an [G] angel [A] disguised as [Bm] lust,
[Bm] here in our [G] bed until the [A] morning [Bm] comes.
[G] Come on [A] now, try and [D] under-[A]-stand
[A] the way I [Bm] feel under [G] your com-[A]-mand.

With [D] love we [A] sleep;
With [D] doubt the [A] vicious circle [Bm] turn and [A] turns.
[D] Without [A] you I cannot [Bm] live, for-[A]-give the [D] yearning, burning
I [G] believe in [D] time, too [G] real to [Bm] feel,
So [D] touch me now, [G] touch me now, [F#] touch me now.
