Intro chords 
G5  C5  G5  C5 G5  C5  G5  C5 
 
      G5                             C5 
She's looking out on Broadway after working over time 
      G5                                   C5 
She's all dressed up and pretty and she's looking serpentine 
    G5                                        C5 
She says she only really wants to dance, But we all know it's not the circumstance 
      G5                                 C5 
Cause dancing ain't got what she really needs 
    G5                                    C5  
She shows her stuff in nightclubs on the south side every week 
       G5                          C5 
And to her it?s a religion but to me it sounds like greek 
    G5                                           C5 
She likes ?em pretty and she likes ?em tall and it just takes a little alcohol 
         G5                                        C5 
Then she chews ?em up and spits ?em out a quarter way 
A5                        C5  
She's just blowing in the wind 
A5             B5                 C5            D5 
She's lighting up her life and not trying to pretend 
                 G5                  D5 
But she's living wild, she's living free 
          E5                 C5 
She's too easy all the boys agree 
               G5            D5 
And there's no need to reconcile  
                    E5                   C5   
It?s just some more wood to throw on the fire 
         G5                 D5 
She only cares if it feels right 
                      E5                 C5 
Now she's going down again on a Saturday night 
           G5                              D5 
Take my advice, watch where you're going, son 
                E5                  G5    C5   G5 
Cause she's the temptress of Washington  

She wakes all hungover then tries to call her friends 

She asks what was I doin?, darling, where the hell I been 

But it?s all over, what?s done is done, and I really thought I could-a been the one 

Now try again about a man that tried to leave 

Yeah guys just look her over, they?re makin? jokes about her style 

She wants to fall in love even if just only for a little while 

But cheap drinks and charm seem to win her mind and John D's invitation to do the grind 

Oh baby, oh baby, your world's overflowing tonight  

But she's gotta be running along 

It seems a shame that right for her just seems so wrong 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
D5        C5                 G5 
If we?re champions of this little universe 
D5       C5             G5 
Son has sent me down, tell me just what?s worse 
      E5                                 C5 
Wait around for things to change, buckle down and rearrange 
               A5                                      D5 
It seems we?re pawns when we?re all kings in this here game 
 
Harmonica 
 
Her home life is just a nuisance and her nightlife is just a sin 
Maybe one day she'll walk the path of Mary Magdalene 
Oh, come on baby, there's still a chance, cause it ain't that bad to only dance 
Baby please stay uptown for just tonight 
She's just trying to stay cool 
I guess it feels good to be bad when you're breaking all the rules 
 
Chorus
