Kiss Me Chords

   
This song has a wide range of things going on that it's hard to determine what exactly 
is being played so just play around the fret board with variations on these chords. The 
Em9 pops up frequently and I've included that chord at the bottom. Enjoy.

Intro: Em9  B

Em         Am
The fire's dyin' out
B                           Em
All the embers have been spent
Em             Am
Outside on the street
B              C   B7
Lover's eyes in the shadows
Em            Am
You look at me
B               Em
I look at you
Em9               Am
There's only one thing
B                    (C) B7
I want you to do

Em
Kiss me
                              Em9                 B                 Em9
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Em9                     B                      Em
Kiss me like a stranger once again
Am
I won't believe that our love's a mystery
Em
I won't believe our love's a sin
                        Em9     B      Em                    Em9
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again

Em                                     Am
You wear the same kind of perfume
B               Em     Em9
You wore when we met
Em                      Am
I suppose there's something comforting
B               C    B7
In knowing what to expect
Em                      Am
But when you brushed up against me
B                       Em
Before I knew your name
Em              Am
Everything was thrilling
B               C      B7
'Cause nothin' was the same

Em
Kiss me
                              Em9                 B                 Em9
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Em9                     B                      Em
Kiss me like a stranger once again
Am
I won't believe that our love's a mystery
Em
I won't believe our love's a sin
                        Em9     B      Em                    Em9
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Em                                  B
I want you to kiss me like a stranger
Em                      B              Em(9)
Kiss me like a stranger once again
