This is the most Bon Jovi-sounding song on the record, wouldn't you agree.
The basic rhythm figure continues through all the verses, bass implies
different harmonies to the two chords Dadd9 and Asus4/E. In the second verse
the letters behind slashes (i.e. Dadd9/F#) are the bass notes, guitar plays
just Rhy.fig.1. The lyrics are a bit faulty, I'll fix them later. I hope you
get the idea. Enjoy, and e-mail me for any corrections or comments.

[Rhy.fig.1]
I've been staring at the page [Dadd9 Asus4]
For what seems like days [Dadd9 Asus4]
I guess I've put this one off [Dadd9 Asus4]
For a while [Dadd9 Dadd9 (play the first bar twice)]
[Rhy.fig.1]
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes? [Dadd9 Asus4/E]
Did you laugh so hard that you cried? [Dadd9/F# Asus4/G]
When I serve my secrets on a silver tray(?)[Dadd9 Asus4/E Dadd9 Dadd9]
[Em] [G]
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down
[D] [G]
There's no love, there's no hate
[D] [G]
I left the -- for you to take
You know that
[D] [A] [D]
Every word was a piece of my heart
[Rhy.fig.1]
- (?)
You're the only one who knows my middle name
And the smiles they came easy, 'cause of you
You know that I love you, but I hate you
'Cause I know I could never escape you
So let the choir sing, for the night I'm an easy mark (?)
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud
CHORUS
Have I said too much
Baby, I haven't said enough
To know that
Every word was a piece of my heart
[A] [G] [D]
Hush me darlin' maybe I lost my touch
[A]
Maybe I lost my guts
[G]
Babe, is that true enough
Hey now, hey now
[Rhy.fig.1]
You know there's no ---
Just don't lie ---- when you kiss me
Even though I'm a long way (?), you know I'll be back soon
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, am I talkin' just a little too loud
CHORUS 2
Hey now, am I talkin' just a little too proud
Hey now, the night's just bringin' me down
