|Amaj7 B7 |Amaj7 C#m7 |Gbsus2/Bb Bsus2 |
Eb13add9 I'm working on Db13add9gospel time these Gm7days
(The sDm7ummer Gm7 the sDm7ummer Gm7 this could Dm7be
the Gm7cool part of the Dm7summer)
Dbmaj7 The sloe-eyed creature in the Cm7reckless room
she's Bbmaj7so severe
D7/Eb G7sus4/D
A wise child walks right out of here
Dmaj7 Cmaj7-5 Cmaj7
I'm so excited I can barely cope
Bmaj7 Amaj7-5
I'm sizzling like an isotope
I'm on Emaj7fire so Abm7cut me some Emaj7slack
Abm7First she's way Gmaj7gone D6then she comes Gmaj7back D6
Gmaj7She's all D6business then Gmaj7she's ready to F#m7play
Bmaj7 Absus4/Eb Absus2/C Dbsus2
She's almost gothic in a natural way
|Amaj7 Emaj7 |Amaj7-5 |
Eb13add9 This house of Db13add9desire is built foursGm7quare
(The Dm7city - Gm7 the Dm7cleanest kiGm7tten in the Dm7city)
Dbmaj7 When she speaks it's like the Cm7slickest song I Bbmaj7ever heard
D7/Eb G7sus4/D
I'm hanging on her every word
Dmaj7 Cmaj7-5 Cmaj7
As if I'm not already blazed en ough
Bmaj7 Amaj7-5
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
That's her Emaj7style - to jAbm7erk me aEmaj7round
Abm7First she's all Gmaj7feel D6/9then she cools doGmaj7wn Dmaj9
Gmaj7She's pure D6/9science with a Gmaj7splash of black F#m7cat
Bmaj7 Ab7sus4/Eb Absus2/C Dbsus2
She's almost gothic and I like it like that
Am9 D9 Fmaj7-5/A D9 |Am9 D9 |
In this dark place so thrilling and new
|Fmaj7-5/A D9 |
Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Amaj7/B
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
UnFmaj9less I'm totally C9wrong
Bbmaj7-5 Amadd9 |E9 |D6/9 |
I hear her rap and brother it's strong
|Abm7sus4 Db/Eb |Abm7sus4 Db/Eb |Abm7sus4 Db/Eb |
|Gm7sus4 C/D |Gm7sus4 C/D |Gm7sus4 C/D |
Dbmaj7 I'm pretty sure that what she's Cm7telling me is Bbmaj7mostly lies
D7/Eb G7sus4/D
But I just stand there hypnotized
Ebmaj7 I'll just have to make it Dbmaj7work somehow
Cmaj9/6 Bbmaj7-5
I'm in the amen corner now
's called Fmaj7love - I Am7spell L -U- Fmaj7V
CHORUS:
Am7 Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6 Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6
First she's all buzz then she's noise-free
Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6 Abmaj7 Gm7
She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say
Cmaj7 A7sus4/E Asus2/C# Dadd9
She's almost gothic in a natural way
|Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 |Bbmaj7
She's old
Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6 Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6
school then she's like young
Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6 Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
Cmaj7 A7sus4/E Asus2/C# Dadd9
She's almost gothic but it's better than that
|Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 |Bbmaj7 Bb6 |E13add9 |
