[Verse 1]
Em                                         A   G Em
Can I get you to give me a minute of your time
                             A   B
Can I get you to slip me the answer
Em                                         A
Can I get you to show me a little of your mime
          G        F#7        F   Em   G  F#7  A
You were always a very good dancer

Em

[Verse 2]
Em                                        A   G Em
I'd be happy to show you a bit of what I found
                             A     B
I'd be happy to share in its beauty
Em                                    A
I'd be happy to lay low inevitably bound
        G        F#7       F   Em  G F#7 A
I would only be doing my duty


[Pre-chorus]

I wait, I wait, I can wait

 E     D    C#          B      E   G    E      G
I can wait back in the bar, I can wait, I can wait
 E     D    C#          B      E   G    E        A
I can wait back in the car, I'll be waiting for you


[Chorus]
D              A
Stranglehold, you know you've got one on me
          D           A
I don't wanna go without you
D                     A
Stranglehold, you've got me where you want me
        G               A
But I wanna know more about you
    G               D    C
I wanna know more about you

Em

[Verse 3]
Em                                        A     G Em
Are you willing to wager a little of your life
                                A    B
Are you willing to take such a gamble
Em                                        A
Are you ready to walk on the edge of the knife
        G        F#7 *         F     Em   G F#7 A
Then I think we can skip the preamble

[Pre-chorus]
   A
I wait, I wait, I can wait

I can wait back in the car, I'll be waiting for you

I'll be waiting

[Chorus]

Stranglehold, you know you've got one on me
          D           A
I don't wanna go without you
D                     A
Stranglehold, you've got me where you want me
        G               A
