Prince - Rock And Roll Love Affair

E
she believed in fairy tales and princes
E A
he believed the voices coming from his stereo
E
he believed in rock and roll
E
she left the past and those lily white fences
E A
and headed out to hollywood in search of her soul
E
but she had to pay the toll

C#m A
they were bound to find each other
E
she needed proof , he needed a brother
C#m A
that’s when stars collide
B
when there’s space for what you want
E
and your heart is open wide

wait a minute
E
he gave up women for the stripes of the road

and learned the meaning of grace
A
that’s when his cup overflowed
E
and she said “hello”
E
he said my faith keeps me from willing
but you know that i’m able
and if there’s some room
A
i’d like to sit at your table
E
she said its tight but i think i can fit you in
C#m A E
this kind of love don’t come from a prayer
ain’t talking rebound , born of despair
C#m A
yellow sun rising on their bodies in bed
B E
two people in love , with nothing but the road ahead

she believed in fairy tales and princes
he believed in jazz , rhythm and blues
and this thing called soul
he believed in rock and roll
hear me
she wanted to see her name appear on the big screen
he just wanted to hear her scream his name
can you scream my name? do you know what i mean?

this kind of love don’t come from a prayer
ain’t talking rebound born of despair
yellow sun rising on their bodies in bed
two people in love with nothing but the road ahead
