From the album Peaks and Valleys.
Standard tuning
I'll put the chords, mostly for a sense of timing as the riff thing is important.
E - 022100
Eadd9 - 022102 (may be wrong on the name)
E2 - X79997
Asus2 - X02200
C#m - X4665X
B - X2440X
Intro and verse: I think it uses something like these E chords, listen to the track to match it.

G|--1--1----9-9---9-9----|
D|--2--2----9-9---9-9----|
A|--2--2-s -7-7-2s7-7----|
E|--0--0-----------------|
E/Eadd9 E2
I don't mind it in the morning
E/Eadd9 E2
I don't mind it late at night
E/Eadd9 E2
Make love on the weekend
E/Eadd9 E2
Always makes me feel alright

Don't stop what it is your doing
You know I love your little games

Your Body's driving me insane

I don't mind it in the summer
Yeah underneath the sun
I don't mind if it's cold in winter
I can take it on the run
Then this one again:

A|--0--2--2---2-------0--2-2---2-2-2----------------|
E|-----0--0---0----------0-0---0-0-0----------------|
Let's stop at this hotel
Lets make some faces turn
Lets laugh until we're senseless
B
And our bodies will burn
Chorus: Uses the same kind of variations on the E chord as the bridge.
C#m B
Dream on in the night
Asus E
Make me feel alright
C#m B
Dream on in the night
Asus E
You're my woman
Thats the parts of the song, it won't make sense really if you haven't heard it
(probably won't if you have...), so listen to the song to get the feel of it.
Comments welcome.
