D                   D

[Verse 1]
F#                          E
Some girls you meet seem so complete
          G                       D
Like they don't need nothing from you
F#                           Em
They're out to show you they don't want to know you
G                     D
When deep inside they do
F#                                       E
Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else
        G                            D
She was alone, thought I'd give it a try
        F#         E
I was a young bull stomping in the field
      G                   (D E)
I saw red when she walked by


[Chorus]
A                     (F#  D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
  (E A)                    (F#  D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah


[Verse 2]
F#                   E
I had to think fast, I watched her walk past
G                         D
I knew I would have my way
     F#                     E
So I swaggered up, I mean I staggered up
      G                           D
But I didn't have a damn thing to say
     F#                  E
Now, two handed strategy always works well for me
     G                           D
So I slipped my hands around her waist
F#                             E
I swore it was the right move, feeling so smooth
         G                          (D E)
Till she backhanded me across my face


[Chorus]
A                     (F#  D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
  (E A)                    (F#m D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah


[Sax Solo]
G E  G E  (Bm B) D

[Verse 3]
          F#                    E
To make a long story short, she finally got caught
         G                  D
I had to tell her enough is enough
           F#
She said, "You're just what I needed", and boy
E                          G
She nearly pleaded with me not to be too rough


[Chorus]
A                     (F#  D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
  (E A)                    (F#m D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
A                     (F#  D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
  (E A)                    (F#m D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
A                     (F#  D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
  (E A)                    (F#m D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
