One of the best tracks from "Creatures Of The Night". A Cool ballad with most of the lead
guitar work provided by Paul Stanley I believe. Although this is possibly Vinnie Vincent, I
think it has more of a Paul Stanley sound. The clean rhythm work of the verses and pre-chorus
gives way to a distorted chorus and a pretty cool lead break.

I STILL LOVE YOU

[Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)

[Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)
You tell me that you're leaving, and I'm trying to understand
I had myself believing I should take it like a man

[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.1]
But if you gotta go, then you gotta know that it's killing me
And all the things I never seem to show, I gotta make you see

[Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)
Girl it's been so long, (tell me) how could it be
One of us knows the two of us don't belong in each others company

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
It hurts so much inside, your telling me goodbye, you wanna be free
And knowin' that you're gone and leavin' me behind

[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/[Rhythm Fig. 3a]
I gotta make you see, I gotta make you see, I gotta make you see

[Rhythm Fig. 4]
I still love you, I still love you
I really, I really love you, I still love you

[Riff. 1] w/[Rhythm Fig. 1]

[Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)
People tell me I should win at any cost
But now I see as the smoke clears away, the battle has been lost

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
I see it in your eyes, you never have to lie, I'm out of your life
Tonight I'll dream away and you can still be mine

[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/[Rhythm Fig. 3a]
But I'm dreamin' a lie, dreamin' a lie, makes me wanna die

[Rhythm Fig. 4]
'Cause I still love you, I still love you
Baby, baby I love you, I still love you

[Rhythm Fig. 5] w/[Riff. 2]

[Solo] w/[Rhythm Fig.1](2x)

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
And when I think of all the things you'll never know
There's so much left to say
'Cos girl, now I see the price of losing you will be 

[Rhythm Fig. 3b] w/[Rhythm Fig. 3c]
My half to pay, My half to pay, each and every day, hear what I say
I still

[Rhythm Fig. 4a] w/[Riff. 3] at end (until fade)
Love you, I still love you
I really, I really love you, I still love you
Baby, baby, I love you, I love you, I really, I really love you
