QUESTION OF LUST
{Depeche Mode}
#from Black Celebration
[E]Fragile
[F#m]Like a baby in your [G#m]arms[C#m]
[F#m]Be gentle [C#m]with me
[F#m]I'd never [C#m]willingly
[G#m]Do you harm
[E]Apologies
[F#m]Are all you seem to get from [G#m]me[C#m]
But [F#m]just like a [C#m]child
[F#m]You make me [C#m]smile
When you [G#m]care for me
And you know......
It's a question of [A]lust
It's a question of [B]trust
It's a question of [G#m]not letting
What we've [C#m]built up
Crumble to [A]dust
It is all [G]of these [C]things and [Am]more
That [Em]keep us together
Inde[E]pendence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)
My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know......
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Kiss [A]me goodbye
When I'm [B]on my own
But [A]you know that I'd
Rather be [B]home
It's a question of [A]lust
It's a question of [B]trust
It's a question of [G#m]not letting
What we've [C#m]built up
Crumble to [A]dust
It is all [G]of these [C]things and [Am]more
That [Em]keep us together[B]
It's a question of [A]lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
ENJOY THE SILENCE
Group: Depeche Mode
Album: Violator
Intro: [ Cmi D# ]
Cmi
Words like violence
D#mi
Break the silence
G#
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Cmi
Painful to me
D#mi
Pierce right through me
G#
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
Fm
All I ever wanted
G#
All I ever needed
Cm
Is here in my arms
Fm G#
Words are very unnecessary
B
They can only do harm
[Cmi D#]
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Enjoy the silence

[Next verse as for first verse]
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
Gm9 Bbmaj7 C6 Bbmaj7
If you try walking in my shoes, if you try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

BEHIND THE WHEEL
Album: Music for the Masses
[Bm Dm Gm Bb] - repeated the whole song
Bm
My little girl
Dm
Drive anywhere
Gm
Do what you want
Bb
I don't care
Bm Dm
Tonight I'm in the hands of fate
Gm
I hand myself
Bb
Over on a plate
Bm Dm Gm Bb
Now
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap
Tonight
You're behind the wheel, tonight
