     Em
So I got my boots on,
         G
Got the right amount of leather
        Bm
And I'm doing me up with a
  D
black coloured liner
        Em
And I'm working my strut but I
  G
know it don't matter
        D                          Bm
All we need in this world is some love
           Em                    G
There's a thin line between the dark side,
         D                Bm
And the light side, baby tonight
         Em            G                Bm   D
It's a struggle gotta rumble, tryin to find it

Chorus:
             C
But If I Had You,
 Em                              D        Bm
That would be the only thing I'd ever need
               C
Yeah if I had you,
      Em                            D           Bm
Then money, fame and fortune never could compete
          C
If I had you,
Em                             D      Bm
Life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy
                C
Yeah, if I had you
 Em    D     Bm
You, you, you

From New York to LA, getting high, rock and rollin'
Get a room trash it up 'til it's ten in the morning
Girls in stripper heels, boys rollin' in Maserati's
What they need in this world is some love

There's a thin line 'tween the wild time
And a flat-line, baby, tonight
It's a struggle, gotta rumble, tryna find it

Chorus:
But if I had you
That would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah, if I had you
Then money, fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you
Life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy
Yeah, if I had you (You), you (You), you, you
If I had.

D Em C                      D  Em  C
       The flashing of the lights
                  D  Em  C
It might feel so good
                    D  Em  C
But I got you stuck on my mind, yeah
D Em C                        D  Em  C
       The flashing and the stage
                 D  Em  C
It might get me high
                      D   Em C
But it don't mean a thing tonight

Chorus:
That would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah, if I had you
The money, fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you
Life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy, yeah
If I had you, you, you
If I had you, that would be
the only thing I'd ever need, yeah
If I had you
Then money, fame and fortune never could compete
(Never could compete with you) If I had you
Life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy
(It'd be ecstasy with you)
Yeah, if I had you, you, you, you
If I had you
