Bruce Springsteen : Tunnel Of Love

C

(cross)

G

I got a fortune of heaven in diamonds and gold I got all the bonds, baby, that the bank could hold I got houses 'cross the country, honey, end-to-end And everybody, buddy, wants to be my friend Well I got all the riches, honey, any man ever knew

C

G

But the only thing I ain't got, honey, I ain't got you I got a house full of Rembrandt and priceless art And all the little girls they wanna tear me apart When I walk down the street people stop and stare Well you think I might be thrilled but, baby, I don't care 'Cause I got more good luck, honey, than old King Farouk But the only thing I ain't got, baby, I ain't got you

C

G

I got a big diamond watch sittin' on my wrist

C

G

I try to tempt you, baby, but you just resist

C

G

I made a deal with the devil, babe, I won't deny

C

D

Until I got you in my arms I can't be satisfied I got a pound of caviar sitting home on ice I got a fancy foreign car that rides like paradise I got a hundred pretty women knockin' down my door And folks wanna kiss me I ain't even seen before I been around the world and all across the seven seas Been paid a king's ransom for doin' what comes naturally But I'm still the biggest fool, honey, this world ever knew 'Cause the only thing I ain't got, baby, I ain't got you

F

So somebody ran out, left somebody's heart in a mess

Bb

F

C

F

Well if you're looking for love, honey I'm tougher than the rest Some girls they want a handsome Dan or some good lookin' Joe On their arms some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo Well round here baby I learned you get what you can get So if you're rough enough for love, honey I'm tougher than the rest

Dm

Bb

F

The road is dark and it's a thin, thin line

Bb

C

F

But I want you to know I'll walk it for you anytime

Dm

F

Maybe your other boyfriends couldn't pass the test

Bb

F

C

F

Well if you're rough and ready for love, honey I'm tougher than the rest

Guitar solo over verse chords

Well it ain't no secret I've been around a time or two Well I don't know baby, maybe you've been around too? Well there's another dance, all you gotta do is say yes And if you're rough and ready for love, honey I'm tougher than the rest If you're rough enough for love, baby I'm tougher than the rest

They were set to marry on a summer day

Keep the world turnin' around Now Janey walked that baby across the floor night after night But she was a young girl and she missed the party lights Meanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patch Bobby heard about his son bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' back

Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton

D

Put her baby in the river let the river roll on

G

She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay

A

Got down on her knees cried till she prayed Mist was on the water low run the tide Janey held her son down at the riverside Waist deep in water how bright the sun shone She lifted him in her arms and carried him home As he lay sleeping in her bed Janey took a look around at everything Went to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ring Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash Went straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some good cold cash

Bill Horton was a cautious man of the road

G

D

He walked lookin' over his shoulder and remained faithful to its code

G

C

When something caught his eye he'd measure his need

G

D

G

And then very carefully he'd proceed

G

C

Billy met a young girl in the early days of May

G

Bm

C

It was there in her arms he let his cautiousness slip away

G

C

In their lovers twilight as the evening sky grew dim

G

D

G

He'd lay back in her arms and laugh what had happened to him

C

On his right hand Billy tattooed the word love

Bm

And on his left hand was the word fear

G

D

And in which hand he held his fate was never clear

G

C

Come Indian summer he took his young lover for his bride

G

D

G

And with own hands built a great house down by the riverside |

G

C

G

G

C

D

G

C

Now Billy was an honest man he wanted to do what was right

G

D

He worked hard to fill their lives with happy days and loving nights

G

C

Alone on his knees in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray

G

D

G

For he knew in a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay

C

One night Billy awoke from a terrible dream

Bm

Callin' his wife's name

G

D

She lay breathing beside him in a peaceful sleep a thousand miles away

G

C

He got dressed in the moonlight and down to the highway he strode

G

D

G

When he got there he didn't find nothing but road |

G

C

Billy felt a coldness rise up inside him that he couldn't name

G

Bm

C

Just as the words tattooed 'cross his knuckles he knew would always remain

G

At their bedside he brushed the hair from his wife's face

C

As the moon shone on her skin so white

G

D

G

Filling their room with the beauty of God's fallen light

As they stepped into that long black limousine for their mystery ride

But I didn't think there'd be so many steps yeah I'd have to learn on my own

Well I was young and I didn't know what to do

When I saw your best steps stolen away from you

Now I'll do what I can

There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5D

G

F

I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me

There's a room of shadows that get so dark brothers

It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love |

I met a girl and we ran away I swore I'd make her happy every day

Em

And how I made her cry

G

Two faces have I Sometimes mister I feel sunny and wild Lord I love to see my baby smile Then dark clouds come rolling by Two faces have I

C

G

One that laughs, one that cries

Em

G

One says hello, one says goodbye

C

G

One does things I don't understand

Em

C7

G

Makes me feel like half a man At night I get down on my knees and pray Our love will make that other man go away But he'll never say goodbye Two faces have I

G

Last night as I kissed you 'neath the willow tree He swore he'd take your love away from me

C

He said our life was just a lie

G

And two faces have I

Em

Well go ahead and let him try

Is that you baby Or just a brilliant disguise? I heard somebody call your name from underneath our willow I saw something tucked in shame underneath your pillow Well I've tried so hard baby but I just can't see What a woman like you is doing with me So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise

E

A

Now look at me baby struggling to do everything right

D

A

And then it all falls apart when out go the lights

E

D

I'm just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth

A

E

I want to know if it's you I don't trust 'cause I damn sure don't trust myself Now you play the loving woman I'll play the faithful man But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand We stood at the alter the gypsy swore our future was right But come the wee wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied So when you look at me you better look hard and look twice Is that me baby or just a brilliant disguise

A

Tonight our bed is cold I'm lost in the darkness of our love God have mercy on the man

Who doubts what he's sure of

Bird on a wire outside my motel room But he ain't singin' Girl in white outside a church in June But the church bells, they ain't ringing I'm sitting here in this bar tonight But all I'm thinkin' Is, I'm the same old story, same old act One step up and two steps back It's the same thing night on night Who's wrong, baby, who's right Another fight and I slam the door On another battle in our dirty little war When I look at myself I don't see The man I wanted to be Somewhere along the line I slipped off track I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back There's a girl across the bar I get the message she's sending Mmm she ain't lookin' to marry And me, well honey, I'm pretending Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms The music was never-ending We danced as the evening sky faded to black One step up and two steps back

A friend of mine became a father last night

When we spoke in his voice I could hear the light

But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head

E

And God's light came shinin' on through

A

I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew

E

It wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me

A

It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true

E

It wasn't the wind in the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms

A

| No no baby it was you

E

So hold me close honey say you're forever mine
