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
