               Gm               F  A#
He could be a sinner, or a gentleman
               Gm                 F       A#
He could be a preacher when your soul is damned
               Gm          F       Dm
He could be a lawyer on a witness stand but
Cm                    Gm     D#   A#
He'll never love you like I can, can

He could be a stranger you gave a second glance
He could be a trophy of a one night stand
He could have your humour, but I don't understand
'Cause he'll never love you like I can, can, can

Chorus:
F                        Dm            Gm
Why are you looking down all the wrong roads?
D#                              A#          F
When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul
F                        Dm             Gm
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but
Cm                      Gm     D#        A#
They'll never love you like I can, can, can
Cm                      Gm     D#      A#
They'll never love you like I can, can

A chance encounter of circumstance
Baby he's a mantra, keeps your mind entranced
He could be the silence in this mayhem, but then again
He’ll never love you like I can, can, can

Chorus:
Why are you looking down all the wrong roads?
When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul
There may be lovers who hold out their hands
But they’ll never love you like I can, can, can
They'll never love you like I can, can, can
They'll never love you like I can, can, can

   Gm                     D#        A#
We both have demons, that we can't stand
  Gm                     D#     A#
I love your demons like devils can
   D#                      F      Gm
If you’re self-seeking an honest man
      Cm              D
Then stop deceiving, Lord please

Chorus:
Why are you looking down all the wrong roads?
When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul
There may be lovers who hold out their hands
But they’ll never love you like I can, can, can
They'll never love you like I can, can, can
He'll never love you like I can, can, can
