F#m

[Verse]
         F#m
Lost and lonely clouds hide the sun
E
Out on the highway
     F#m
It's all hit and run
F#m
Cold empty nights demons in my head
     E           B
It's something I did
        F#m
Or baby something you said

[Chorus]
         D          E
And it's hard to discover
D                 E
That you're just another
        F#m
Jealous Lover
        D           E
And its so tough to take
           D            E
But you're making no mistake
        F#m
Jealous Lover oh Yeah
don't want no other

[Verse 2]
         F#m
Shades of red eyes of green
E
Sees black and white
            F#m
And there's no in between
F#m
Ask me no questionsI'll
tell you no lies
E              B
Still you keep thinking
          F#m
That it's all alibis

[Chorus 2]
         D          E
And it's hard to discover
D                 E
That you're just another
        F#m
Jealous Lover
        D               E
And you're saying I'm a fake
           D           E
But you're making a mistake

[Verse 3]
      F#m
Every day it's the same
the faces and the names
    E
How long can I go on
F#m
Playing this game
     F#
So I live for the nights
soft candle lights
   E
Today they love you
     F#m
Then tomorrow they might

[Chorus 3]
         D          E
And it's hard to face
        D               E
Someone else takes your place
        F#
Jealous Lover
            D                 E
And they're saying that's the brakes
      D           E       F#m
But I got what it takes
Jealous Lover,
oh oh Jealous Lover Jealous Lover
F#m
Don't need no,
no no don't need no other
        F#m
Jealous Lover, yeah Jealous Lover
