C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Lover
               C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
I'm off the streets,
                     C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Gonna go where the bright lights,
                  C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
And the big city meet,

              C#       G#
With a red guitar, on fire,

Chorus:
C# G# D# D#sus4 D#  C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Desire.
           C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
She's the candle,
               C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Burning in my room,
              C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
I'm like the needle,
             C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Needle and spoon,
          C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Over the counter,
         C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
With a shotgun,
        C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Pretty soon,
           C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
everybody got one.

         C#               G#
And the fever when I'm beside her,

Chorus:
   C# G# D# D#sus4 D# C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Desire.
   C# G# D# D#sus4 D# C# G# D# D#sus4 D#
Desire.

Chorus:
Desire.
Desire.

 C#  G#
Burning,
 C# D#
Burning.

She's the dollars,
She's my protection,
Yeah, she's the promise,
In the year of election,.
Ah, sister, I can't let you go,
I'm like a preacher,
Stealing hearts at a traveling show,
For the love or money, money?

Fever, getting higher

Chorus:
Desire.
Desire.
Desire.
Desire.

Desire.
Desire.
