[Intro]
[Strophe]
Dm             G7    G 
Once my lover, now my friend 
Dm      G7            G 
What a cruel thing to pretend 
Dm                    Am G 
What a cunning way to condescend 
        Dm             G 
Once my lover, and now my friend
[Strophe]
Dm               G7       G 
Oh, you creep up like the clouds 
Dm       G7     G 
And you set my soul at ease 
Dm                Am   G 
Then you let your love abound 
        Dm          G 
And you bring me to my knees
[Pre-Refrain]
Em       Dm        Am 
Oh, it's evil babe 
Em          Dm             Am 
The way you let your grace enrapture me 
Em            Dm       Am 
When well you know I'd be insane 
        Em       F          Dm 
To ever let that dirty game recapture me
[Refrain]
    C         F     Em 
You made me a shadowboxer, baby 
  C                  Em          G 
I wanna be ready for what you do 
      C        F         Em 
Well I've been swinging around me 
       G                              Em         G 
'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move
[Strophe]
Dm               G7   G 
Oh, your gaze is dangerous 
Dm      G7              G 
And you fill your space so sweet 
Dm               Am  G 
If I let you get too close 
       Dm             G 
You'll set your spell on me
[Strophe]
Dm                G7    G 
So darlin' I just wanna say 
Dm             G7         G 
Just in case I don't come through 
Dm          Am     G 
I was onto every play 
           Dm     G 
... I just wanted you
[Pre-Refrain]
Em       Dm        Am 
Oh, it's evil babe 
Em          Dm             Am 
The way you let your grace enrapture me 
Em            Dm       Am 
When well you know I'd be insane 
        Em       F          Dm 
To ever let that dirty game recapture me
[Refrain]
   C     F     Em 
So I'm a shadowboxer, baby 
  C                  Em          G 
I wanna be ready for what you do 
     c        F        Em 
And I've been swinging around at nothing 
G                              Em        G 
I don't know when you're gonna make your move
[Refrain]
    C         F     Em 
You made me a shadowboxer, baby 
  C                  Em          G 
I wanna be ready for what you do 
      C        F         Em 
Well I've been swinging around me 
       G                              Em         G 
'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move
