(Use main riff for intro. and verses)

D	        F#m
Words like love and happiness
G
Never see to stand up baby 
D			 A
When you put them to the test, yeah 
D
You say that you're a poet 
		   F#m
That your love's a work of art 
	Bm
But you can't play love by numbers baby
	  D
You gotta play it all by heart 


Chorus:

D		  E
Baby, baby, baby, baby
		   Em7
It happens all the time 
			  D
How you play me, play me, play me 

Playing with my mind 
		  E
Baby, baby, baby, baby 
		    Em7
You're making me go crazy 
	   G
And if you call that love 
     A		      D
Then love should be a crime 


D
Honesty
F#m
Bites the dust 
G
Every time I hear you saying 
D	      A
Love is never lust yeah 
D
Did you read it in a book 
		    F#m
Did you see it in a magazine 
Bm
Do you think that I'm some new age fool
       G
Do you think I'm so naive 


Chorus 


(play main riff)


Bridge:

		 Am
Love should be a crime 

You and me 
Em
Suddenly 
       G
We got nothing to say 
	E7
But the words get in the way 


D		  E
Baby, baby, baby, baby
		   Em7
It happens all the time
			  D
How you play me, play me, play me

Playing with my mind
		  E
Baby, baby, baby, baby
		    Em7
You’re making me go crazy
	   Bm
And if you call that love
     Em
Then all it was 
      Bm
Was a pocketful of nothing 
      Em7
But a suicidal love 
       G
If you call that love 
     A		      D
Then love should be a crime
