Eb139              Db139          G5 
       I'm working on gospel time these days

      D5    G5      D5    G5            D5      
(The summer      the summer      this could be 

    G5              D5
the cool part of the summer)

C#5                              C5                    
      The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room

       Bb5
 she's so severe

  D5                  G5
A wise child walks right out of here 

D5                C7M-5  C5
I'm so excited I can barely   cope 

    B5            A7M-5
I'm sizzling like an isotope 

       E5   Ab5        E5              
I'm on fire so cut me some slack 

Ab5            G5   D5             G5   D5
First she's way gone    then she comes back 

G5     D5            G5          F#5
She's all business then she's ready to play 

B5        Ab5   Ab5    C#5
She's almost gothic in a natural way 

A5   E5   A7M-5      


Eb139           Db139             G5
     This house of desire is built foursquare 

     D5    G5      D5        G5         D5
(The city -      the cleanest kitten in the city) 

C#5                               C5             Bb5
       When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard 

    D5           G5
I'm hanging on her every word

D5                 C7M-5    C5
As if I'm not already blazed  en ough

    B5            A7M-5
She hits me with the cryptic stuff 

           E5       Ab5    E5
That's her style - to jerk me around 

Ab5            G5  D5             G5    D5
First she's all feel   then she cools down 

G5      D5             G5           F#5
She's pure science with a splash of black cat 

B5            Ab5    Ab5     C#5
    She's almost gothic and I  like it like that 


  A5      D5        F5  D5            A5     D5    
        In this dark place so   thrilling  and new 

F5   D5     


     G5     C5       G5      C5    A5
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view 

  F5            C5      
Unless I'm totally wrong

Bb7M-5            A5               E5       D5    
         I hear her rap and brother it's strong 


Abm74  C#5   Abm74  C#5    Abm74  C#5     


Gm74     C5   Gm74     C5    Gm74     C5     


C#5                               C5           Bb5
     I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies 

    D5              G5
But I just stand there hypnotized 

Eb5                        C#5
    I'll just have to make it work somehow 

    C/6     Bb7M-5
I'm in the amen corner now 

          F5      A5         F5   
's called love -   I spell L -U- V 

CHORUS: 



A5             Ab5   Eb/6         Ab5   Eb/6
First she's all buzz     then she's noise-free 

Ab5             Eb/6          Ab5     G5
    She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say 

C5           A5     A5  D5   
   She's almost gothic in a natural   way 


Bb5    F5     Bb5    
                             She's old 

Ab5   Eb/6        Ab5    Eb/6
school   then she's like young 

Ab5   Eb/6      Ab5          Eb/6
Little   Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat 

C5               A5        A5    D5
       She's almost gothic but it's better than that 


Bb5   F5     Bb5   Bb5     E139
