riff 1
i'm the kind of guy that likes to talk
i'm the kind of guy hates to be frozen out
i can't stand it when i get this way
total mental shutdown

riff 2              A7    C
& i choke up like a chump
      /B /A Eb/G          D/F#             A7   C
words in my throat just become a senseless lump
   /B      /A  Eb/G             D/F#    A7
my heart's not in it 'cause it's just a pump

riff 1
body lying out on the pavement
eyes out of focus on the dirty street
standing right here is the person
i've been waiting for months to meet
  riff 2                            A7   C
& i just drop my eyes down like two rocks
  /B  /A  Eb/G    D/F#         A7    C
i hear my name, my circulation stops
   /B /A     Eb/G         D/F#         A7
i peer up at her like i'm looking at a cop

riff 1

riff 1
i'm the kind of dog that likes to sit in your lap
i back away, about an inch tall
that's my special situation 
                                riff 2         A7    C
now if i think about her at all i become a raw nerve
      /B    /A    Eb/G  D/F#     A7    C
whole throat gets dry & vision blurred
         /B /A Eb/G      D/F#           A7    C      
thoughts in my head fall down like dead birds
        /B   /A   Eb/G        D/F#            A7   
i don't know what kind if any purpose i might serve

C /B /A Eb/G D/F# A7 C /B /A Eb/G D/F# A7
