               Em           D     G 
He could be a sinner, or a gentleman 
                   Em                 D       G 
He could be your preacher, when your soul is down 
                  Em          D        Bm        Am 
He could be your lawyer on a witness stand but

He'll never love you like I can, can 

                 Em                D        G 
He could be a stranger, he gave a certain glance

He could be a trophy, of a one night stand 
                    Em           D           Bm           Am 
He could have your humor, but I don't understand cause

He'll never love you like I can, can, can

When mine is the heart and the soul of the song

There may be lovers who hold out their hands but

He'll never love you like I can, can, can

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

He'll never love you like I can, can, can 
     
    Em                     D         G 
We both have demons, that we can't stand 
   Em                     D      G 
I love your demons, like devils can 
    Em                      D      G 
If you're still seeking an honest man 
      Am            B                         
And stop deceiving Lord please 

D                        Bm             Em 
Why are you looking down all the wrong roads 
Am                              D           G 
When mine is the heart and the soul of the song 
D                        Bm             Em 
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but 
Am                           D         G 
He'll never love you like I can, can, can
