Lyrics

Intro: a bm a bm a bm a bm

G a
There's no remedy
G a
I just keep yearning for the sound of your voice
G a
I don't use teardrops as a weapon by choice
Bm
They're just a fall out of my eyes
G a
Keep reminding me
G a
Every last touch is buried under my skin
G a
Every caress keeps up the hunger within
Bm d a
Now I'm in a feeding frenzy of loving you (loving you)

G dm a
Jolie jolie, gets my attention
G d a
Jolie jolie, don't have to mention
G a
I know what you want, and you know what I need
G d
And don't you ever forget it
A bm a bm a bm
Jolie jolie, jolie jol--ie

G a
In the mexican quarter now
G a
The women so hungry that they eat their own kids
G a
I feel out of place in making takeover bids
Bm
But when you get that hungry, rock steady, yeah
G a
And you giving all that love
G a
Nothing so much has ever been mine before
G a
I tried to disguise it in these words for sure
Bm d a
It's just an idiots way of telling you (telling you)

Repeat chorus

Em
Always in the bitter end
F#m
Lovers just become good friends
G c d
Not with you I always want to go for it, and another thing
Em
I'm not losing any sleep
F#m
When I stay awake waiting up for you
G a
In the end I get something to show for it, go for it
Go go go go go
And there's no remedy
Just keep yearning for the sound of your voice
I don't use teardrops as weapons by choice
They're just a fall out of my eyes

Repeat chorus twice
End on jolie jolie (7 times)
