Safe Sex
Jim Steinman
as performed by Pandora's Box
Am
No one ever said I was a gullible girl
F G
I don't believe every-thing that I'm told
C Em
I've been around and I know the ropes
F
And I won't get fooled again
Am
I don't believe in no fairy tales
F G
I don't believe in the man in the moon
C Em
And no pot of gold or anything else
F
Is waiting at the rainbow's end
Eb Bb F
I got no illusions now, I guess I lost them long ago
Eb Bb C7 D
You're not gonna get me with this, cause I already know
G C
Baby there's no such thing
G Em
Baby it just ain't true
Am Em/G D/F# Am/E Bm7 Em
And there's no such thing as safe sex
C D Em
When it comes to loving you
C D C
When it comes to loving you
C G/B
There's always the danger of losing control
Am D
And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul
C G/B
There's just no protection from that look in your eyes
Am D
Or the touch of your hands when I break down and cry
Em Bm
There's always the risk of surrendering more
C Am
Than I ever intended to do
Am Em/G D/F# Am/E Bm7 Em
And there's no such thing as safe sex
C D Em
When it comes to loving you
C D C
When it comes to loving you
Am
I don't believe in the boogie man
F G
I don't believe in no pie in the sky
C Em
You can wish upon a star until the stars are gone
F
That doesn't mean it's really so
Am
There's no such thing as a Santa Claus
F G
There's no such thing as getting money for nothing
C Em
And no yellow brick road is gonna take you there
F
Wherever you've been trying to go
Eb Bb
We'll never be as young as this
F
No matter how we try, we grow
Eb Bb
You're not such an innocent boy
C7 D
And I already know
G C
Baby there's no such thing
G Em
Baby it just ain't true
Am Em/G D/F# Am/E Bm7 Em
And there's no such thing as safe sex
C D Em
When it comes to loving you
C D C
When it comes to loving you
C G/B
There's always the danger of giving too much
Am
Love is often a drug
D
Love is often a crutch
C G/B
There's no guarantee I can handle it all
Am
The higher the climb
D
The longer the fall
C G/B
There's always the danger of losing control
Am D
And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul
C G/B
There's just no protection from that look in your eyes
Am D
Or the touch of your hands when I break down and cry
Em Bm
There's always the risk of surrendering more
C Am
Than I ever intended to do
Am Em/G D/F# Am/E Bm7 Em
And there's no such thing as safe sex
C D Em
When it comes to loving you
C D C
When it comes to loving you
