Em (XII) strummed to Gm (III), Robert then slides the E string from II to XII

Verse:

Em                                  Gm
If the Devil had seen your dress
Em                              Gm
He would've changed his name
Em                                     Gm
Put down his fork and moved up above
Em                                         Gm
Why burn in hell when you burn for love?

Chorus:

Am
I know what I mean but just don't say
    G

F#m
I'll stay with love
                     Em  C
Cos that's the right word baby
                 Em
That's the right word
      C
Cos I love you
                     Em   C
And that's the right word baby

That's the right word, the right word

Verse:

Em                                    Gm
There are two kinds of lovers in this world
Em                                         Gm
Those who like diamonds and those who like dirt
Em                         Gm
Here I stand, my face is a mask
Em                           Gm
I'll take it off because you asked

Chorus:

Am
I know what I mean but just don't say

Cos that's the right word baby
                 Em
That's the right word

Cos I love you
                     Em   C
And that's the right word baby
                 Em
That's the right word, the right word


Bridge:
G                   C
So hold me up on my word
G                       Bm
And keep me down in the bed
C                               D
There's one thing I should have said
G                              C
Will you keep me safe from the world
G                       Bm
And hold me just like a pearl?
C                           D
The light always shines the brightest
       Em
In the core of a flame
