Verse 1
E            D
I met you in no man's land
 A                      E
Across the wire we were holding hands
                D
Hearts a bubble in the rubble
A              Bm         E
It was love at bombsight

Chorus
    A                  D
But all you give me is barbed wire love
Bm               E
All caught up in barbed wire love
A             D
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Bm                E
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
A           D             E
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
            A   E E      E    A
Barbed wire love  Barbed wire love
E E      E    A
  Barbed wire love

Verse 2
E                  D
When I fell it was awful nice
A                  E
Caught when not suspecting vice
                        D
The night was rife with wasteland life
A            Bm         E  D  E
  You set my arm alight




Chorus (with a sort of 50's swing feel to it)
A         F#m        D           E
  All you give me is barbed wire love
A            F#m   D           E
  All caught up in barbed wire love
A         F#m   D           E
  Tangled up in barbed wire love
A          F#m      D           E
  Throw my leg over barbed wire love
A             F#m  D     E           A    D    E
  Barbed wire love Oo-oo-oo snags my je - ee - eans

Verse 3
E		D
Blasted by your booby traps
  A                  E
I felt the blow with both kneecaps
			 D
Your eyes did shine your lips were fine

The device in your pants was outa sight
E
But nothing really matters cause...
