[Bm]
Your [Bm]precious love - that means so much

will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
What I [G]want to say - but my [F#]words just fail

Is that I [Bm]need you so I can't help myself

Like a hungry child - I just help myself
G F# F#aug
And when I'm all full up - I got out to play
Aw![Bm] Huh!

Lonely [Bm]as the moors on a winter's morning

Quiet as the sea on a good calm night
In your [G]tranquil shadow - I [F#]try and follow

I hear your [Bm]distant shoe clicks
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jam/precious_crd.html )
To the midnight beat -

I feel trapped in sorrow

In this imagery
G F# F#aug
But that's how I am and why I need you so
Aw![Bm] Huh!

[Bm]
F#7 F#7aug

[Em] But I don't mean to [D]bleed you dry
[Gm/Bb] Or take you over for the [D/A]rest of your life
[Bm] It's just that [A]I need something [G]solid in [F#]mine

Believe me baby!

You [Bm]precious love - it means so much

Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
What I [G]want to say but my [F#]words just fail

I hear your [Bm]distant shoe clicks

To the midnight beat

I'm feeling trapped in sorrow

In this imagery
But that's [G]how I am
F# F#aug
And why I need you so
Aw![Bm] Huh!

Bm (instrumental)

If the [Bm]sky fell from above

I said who's your precious love?

If the sky fell from above

I said who's your precious love?

If the sky fell from above

Buddy, who's your precious love?
[Bm]Huh!
