C Am Em D
Am C Em D
(repeat)

[Verse 1]
Em                        G
 We were lovers for some time
                               D
 We went separate ways that's fine
                       C
 But I can't sit idly by
Em                                G
 I've seen you hand in hand with him
                       D
 Derrick is a man of whim
                          Am
 He will surely see you cry

[Chorus]
C
 I don't want to come between
Am
 I don't want to ruin your love
Em            D
 But Derrick is a strange machine
Am
 I don't want to be obscene
C
 I don't want to tell what he's done
Em            D
 But Derrick is a loaded gun
C
 I don't want to come between
Am
 I don't want to ruin your love
Em            D
 But Derrick is a strange machine
Am
 I don't want to be obscene
C
 I don't want to tell what he's done
Em            D
 But Derrick is a loaded gun
Am


[Verse 2]
Em                   G
 He can be so very cruel
                      D
 He has but a single rule
                                 C
 A cold and heartless point of view
Em                         G
 You should have a better care
                           D
 And put an end to this affair
                            Am
 Derrick's always been bad news

[Chorus]
C
 I don't want to come between
Am
 I don't want to ruin your love
Em            D
 But Derrick is a strange machine
Am
 I don't want to be obscene
C
 I don't want to tell what he's done
Em            D
 But Derrick is a loaded gun
C
 I don't want to come between
Am
 I don't want to ruin your love
Em            D
 But Derrick is a strange machine
Am
 I don't want to be obscene
C
 I don't want to tell what he's done
Em            D
 But Derrick is a loaded gun

[Bridge]
C         Am              Em    D
 We were lovers for some time
Am C Em D
C         Am              Em    D
 We were lovers for some time
Am C Em D

[Chorus]
C
 I don't want to come between
Am
 I don't want to ruin your love
Em            D
 But Derrick is a strange machine
Am
 I don't want to be obscene
C
 I don't want to tell what he's done
Em            D
 But Derrick is a loaded gun
C
 I don't want to come between
Am
 I don't want to ruin your love
Em            D
 But Derrick is a strange machine
Am
 I don't want to be obscene
C
 I don't want to tell what he's done
Em            D
 But Derrick is a loaded gun

[Outro]

C         Am              Em    D
 We were lovers for some time
Am C Em D
