C Am F G
C Am F G

Verse 1:
       C             Am      F
It's a drug like any other
        G
Opiated, sugar-coated
       C           Am        F
You've either got the sack
            G
Or about to be promoted
       F             G
At the mercy of your man
         Am         G
And he's making you wait

Chorus:
        C     Am
For the buzz
  Dm                   G
I can't get no relief
       F               C
You've reduced me to a liar
  Dm         G
A liar and a thief
C         Em
Love, oh love
      Dm                      G
I can only prove you're real
       F                  C
By the scratching and the fever
F             C
Proof for a believer
        Dm                            G
You see how a shot of love makes you feel?

Verse 2:
        C                Am        F
And you think that you don't care
                   G
And you think that it's your choice
           C             Am        F
But you're hypnotised and follow
          G
The puppet master's voice
        F               G
And you know you can't forget
    Am            G
You know you gotta get

A liar and a thief

Love, oh love
      Dm                      G
I can only prove you're real
       F                  C
By the scratching and the fever
F           C
