A7M B7 A7M C#m7 F#9/Bb B9
Eb139 Db139 Gm7
I'm working on gospel time these days
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7 Dm7
(The summer the summer this could be
Gm7 Dm7
the cool part of the summer)
C#7M Cm7
The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room
Bb7M
she's so severe
D7/Eb G74/D
A wise child walks right out of here
D7M C7M-5 C7M
I'm so excited I can barely cope
B7M A7M-5
I'm sizzling like an isotope
E7M Abm7 E7M
I'm on fire so cut me some slack
Abm7 G7M D6 G7M D6
First she's way gone then she comes back
G7M D6 G7M F#m7
She's all business then she's ready to play
B7M Ab4/Eb Ab9/C C#9
She's almost gothic in a natural way
A7M E7M A7M-5
Eb139 Db139 Gm7
This house of desire is built foursquare
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7 Dm7
(The city - the cleanest kitten in the city)
C#7M Cm7 Bb7M
When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard
D7/Eb G74/D
I'm hanging on her every word
D7M C7M-5 C7M
As if I'm not already blazed en ough
B7M A7M-5
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
E7M Abm7 E7M
That's her style - to jerk me around
Abm7 G7M D6 G7M D6
First she's all feel then she cools down
G7M D6 G7M F#m7
She's pure science with a splash of black cat
B7M Ab74/Eb Ab9/C C#9
She's almost gothic and I like it like that
Am9 D9 F7M-5/A D9 Am9 D9
In this dark place so thrilling and new
F7M-5/A D9
Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 A7M/B
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
Fmaj9 C9
Unless I'm totally wrong
Bb7M-5 Am9 E9 D6/9
I hear her rap and brother it's strong
Abm74 C#/Eb Abm74 C#/Eb Abm74 C#/Eb
Gm74 C/D Gm74 C/D Gm74 C/D
C#7M Cm7 Bb7M
I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies
D7/Eb G74/D
But I just stand there hypnotized
Eb7M C#7M
I'll just have to make it work somehow
Cmaj9/6 Bb7M-5
I'm in the amen corner now
F7M Am7 F7M
's called love - I spell L -U- V
CHORUS:
Am7 Ab7M Ebmaj9/6 Ab7M Ebmaj9/6
First she's all buzz then she's noise-free
Ab7M Ebmaj9/6 Ab7M Gm7
She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say
C7M A74/E A9/C# D9
She's almost gothic in a natural way
Bb7M F7M Bb7M
She's old
Ab7M Ebmaj9/6 Ab7M Ebmaj9/6
school then she's like young
Ab7M Ebmaj9/6 Ab7M Ebmaj9/6
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
C7M A74/E A9/C# D9
She's almost gothic but it's better than that
Bb7M F7M Bb7M Bb6 E139
