(F) (C)(C/B)(Am) (D) (E) (E7)
(Am) Salt brings out the (D)sweet,
(F) Opposites at(Am)tract. (A2)(Am)(Am/E)
A (F)child who seems so (C)per(C/B)fect (Am)wants
To (Em)step on every (Fmaj7)crack. (Fmaj9)

(Am) Sweat brings out the (D)salt,
(F) Stars are riding (Am)high. (A2)(Am)(Am/E)
Young (F)sailor dares the (C)winds (C/B)to (Am)blow
And (D)push him to the (E)sky. (E7)
(Am) (Dm6) (G) (Am) (Fmaj7) (Fmaj9) (G5/D) (G5)(Am) (A2)(Am)

(Fmaj7) Man and a woman,
(Em) Woman and a man,
(Em9/B) Strange Alchemy,
(Am) Making gold from (Fmaj9)sand,(Fmaj7)
(Em) Making gold from (Fmaj7)sand.
(Cmaj7)(Cmaj7/E) (Fmaj7) (Bbmaj7/F) (Ebmaj7) (Am) (A2)(Am)(Am/E)(Am)

Hearts are meant for (D)breaking,
(F) Breakers pound the (Am)shore. (A2)(Am)(Am/E)
(F) Break each other´s (C)con(C/B)stan(Am)tly,
(Em)Still come back for (Fmaj7)more. (Fmaj9)
- Instrumental like verse two -

(Fmaj7) Man and a woman,
(Em) Woman and a man,

(Cmaj7)(Cmaj7/E) (Fmaj7) (Bbmaj7/F) (Ebmaj7) (Am) (A2)(Am)(Am/E)(Am)

(Am) Doors are meant for (D)knocking,
(F) Some are just knocked (Am)down. (A2)(Am)(Am/E)
(F) Shall I be your (C)true (C/B)love (Am)
(Em) Or your (Fmaj7)clown? (Fmaj9)

(Am) Salt brings out the (D)sweet,
(F) Opposites at(Am)tract. (A2)(Am)(Am/E)
A (F)child who seems so (C)per(C/B)fect (Am)wants
To (D)step on every (E)crack. (E7)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
