Guns N' Roses - Locomotive: chords

G#
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend
and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again?
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hoping that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you, or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give?

Fm
I bought me an illusion
       G#
And I put it on the wall
   Fm
I let it fill my head with dreams
      G#
And I had to have them all

     Fm                      F#   F D#
But, oh, the taste is never so sweet
As what you'd believe it is
Well, I guess it never is

F#     F D#
It's these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood
                     F# G#
To the heart of the biz

 G#
You know I never thought
That it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me
But I fell as thought you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world
And in my songs
So now I've closed the dorr
To keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you
Or try not to reject you

         G#                            C#
When we both know it takes time to forgive

F#    G#     G  F#
Sweetness is a virtue
F          E     D# D C#       B
And you lost your virtue long ago
     G#       G       F#    F
You know I'd like to hurt you
     E     D#     D  C#            B
But my conscience always tells me no
           G#        G F#          F
You could sell your body on the street
     E D#    D C#
To anyone whom you might meet
  B    G#       G     F#       F
Who'd love to try and get inside
        E               D# C#   B
And bust your innocence open wide

Chorus:
              G#
   'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
   My baby's gone off the track
   My baby's got a locomotive
                   G#
   Gotta peel the bitch off my back
  G# C# G# C#  G#             C#  G# C# G#
   I know it looks like I'm insane
  C# G#  C#   G#                G# C# G# B
   Take a closer look I'm not to blame
      G#
   No!

Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour
'Cause this road ain't getting clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better to me that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Better to me that boy for he's a man
Sweetheart don't make me laugh
You's getting too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should
Cut on while you can

You can use your illusion
Let take you where it may
We live and learn
And then sometimes it's best to walk away
Me, I'm just here hangin' on
It's my only place to stay at least
For now anyway
I've worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away

I'm taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy
So why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts
Can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you
I mean how long could it take you

To open up your eyes and turn the page

Kindness is a treasure
And it's one towards me you've seldom shown
So I'll say it for good measure
To all the ones like you I've known
Ya know I'd like to shave your head
And all my friends could paint it red
'Cause love to me's a two way street
And all I really want is peace

Chorus

Affection is a blessing
Can you find it in your sorrid heart
I tried to keep this thing together
But the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah, I know it's hard to face
When all we've worked for's gone to waste
But you're such a stupid woman
And I'm such a stupid man
But love like time's got its own plans

Chorus:
   But my baby's got a locomotive,
   My baby's gone off the track
   My baby got a locomotive,
   Got to peel the bitch off my back
   I know it looks like I'm insane
   Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no
   Yeah, if love is blind,
   I guess I'll buy myself a cane

    G#m         E
   Love's so strange
    G#m         E
   Love's so strange
    G#m         E
   Love's so strange...
