	Take me	now, baby,	here as I	am. Pull me	close try and	under	stand.

	G	A	Bm	G	A	Bm
Desire is	hunger, is the	fire I	breathe. Love is a	banquet on	which we	feed.

	G	A	D	A	Bm	G	A
	Come on	now, try and	under	stand the	way I	feel when I'm in your	hand.

	D	G	A	C	Bm
	Take my	hand; come under	cover. They	can't hurt you now,	can't hurt you now,

	F#
	can't hurt you now.

Have I doubt when I'm alone? Love is a ring on the telephone.

Love is an angel disguised as lust, here in our bed until the morning comes.

Come on now, try and understand the way I feel under your command.

Take my hand as the sun descends. They can't touch you now, can't touch you now,

can't touch you now.

	Gm	F	Gm	F	Gm	F
With	love	we sleep; with	doubt the	viscious circle	turns and	turns.

	Gm	F	G	F	Gm	F
With	out you	I cannot	live, for	give the	yearning,	burning.

	D#	Bb	D#	Bb	Gm	D#	Gm	D#	Gm	D#	D
I be	lieve in	time, too	real to	feel, so	touch me	now,	touch me	now,	touch me	now	.
