Verse:
3   -3' -3'  -3'  3 -3'
To-night I  feel so weak    

3   -3'  -3' -3' -4  4
But all  in love is fair

3  -3'  -3'  -3' 3   -3'
I turn  the  o-ther cheek

-3' 3  -3'  3   -3' -3'  3   -3'
And I feel the slap and the sting 

-3' -3'  -4   4    -3'
Of  the foul night air

 4  -4  -4    4    -4 4  -4 -4
And  I know you're on-ly hu-man

 4  -4  -4   4  -4   -4   4   -3'
And  I have-n't got talk-in' room

 4  4   -4    -4    4   -4 -4  4  -4  -4
But to-night while I'm mak-ing ex-cus-es

 -3' -3'  -3' -3 -3' 
Some oth- er  wo-man 

-3' -3' -3'  -3  -3' -3
Is  mak-ing love to  you   



Chorus:
 -6  -6 -6  -6   6   6   6    6 -6
Some-bo-dy bring me some wa-   ter

  6    6   6  -4   -6  -6  6 -4
Can't you see I'm burn-in' a-live

 -4   -6   6  6  -6 -6 
Can't you see my ba-by's 

 6  -6   6  6 -6 -4
Got an-oth-er lo-ver

6  -6     6   6  -6   6  -6 -6   6
I don't know how I'm gon-na sur-vive

   6  6  6    6   -6  -6  -6  -6 6
Some-bo-dy bring me some wa-  ter

 
 -4   -5   6  -5   -6  -6  6  -4
Can't you see it's out of con-trol

6  6    6   -6   6
Ba-by's got my heart 

-5  -6   6  6   6  -6  6
And my ba-by's got my mind

 5   5  5
But to-night

 5   -6   -6  5
The sweet de-vil 

  7   -7  6     6  -6  6
Sweet de-vil's got my soul


Verse:
 -3'   3 - 3'  3   -3'
Will this ach-ing pass

 -3'   3  -4   -4    4
Will this night be through

 -3' 3   -3' -3'  -3'   3   -3'
Want to hear the break-ing glass

-6 -6 6   -6   6   -6
 I on-ly feel the steel 

-6  6   -6  6   -4
Of the red hot truth

-4   5  6  6 -5   6
And I'd do a-ny-thing 

-5  6  -5  6  -5 6   6
To get it out of my mind

6  -5   6   -5 6  -5 6
I need some in-sa-ni-ty 

-4   5   -5 6  -4  -4
That tem-po-ra-ry kind

 -4  4   -4   4  -4
Tell me, how will I 

5 -4  5  -4   5
E-ver be the same

 5   -4  5    -4  -5 -3'
When I  know that wo-man 

-5  -6  -6  -6   6    -6
Is whis-per-ing your name


Chorus:
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see Im burning alive
Can't you see my baby's got another lover
I dont know how Im gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control
Baby's got my heart and my baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil's got my soul
