from the double cd bootleg: satellite of love recorded live at the roseland, nyc -- 1995
music transcribed by: evan c. parker lyrics transcribed by: sarah e. bierenbaum
only dave matthews can take a song about a one night stand, in which you are hooking up with your best friend, causing both of you to be cheating on your significant others, and make it sound romantic.
because this is dave there is a *lot* of chord play... i did *not* write it all down. i've found that most people can't / won't read the transcriptions anyway, and those who can actually read the transcriptions, don't need to because they can figure it out for themsevles.
a hint though... he plays around with barre chords, a lot.
basic measures are these: | | & | | & | |
intro A - E - D - A (x10)
so here we are tonight, you and i together
the snow outside the fire bright
oh and in your eyes i can see what's on my mind
oh its this burning that's got me turning
and fire burn on baby
in my mind... outside
so drink a glass of wine you'll feel better
oh heavenly love, oh heavenly love
oh say yeah, yeah tonight no place to go just want to hide
lover say you will just for this evening just for the thrill of it - - - one lay, and tomorrow go back to being friends
tomorrow we'll go back but for tonight lets be lovers
