Intro

Bb         Eb    F    Bb


Bb             Eb               F          Bb
Here she comes walking down the street

Bb                            Eb      F          Bb

She's got something you would love to meet

Bb                      Eb       F          Bb
It's her heart, and her heart is black

Bb                         Eb     F          Bb
Think of ice cream sliding into a crack

Bb             Eb               F          Bb

Bb             Eb               F          Bb

Bb                     Eb             F          Bb
The heat sticks to the summer's heavy sweat

Bb                 Eb         F          Bb
Hang around, it'll get hotter yet

Bb                         Eb        F          Bb
You got the shakes and its gonna get worse

Bb                      Eb          F          Bb
Don't you know it's all part of the curse

Bb             Eb               F          Bb

Bb             Eb               F          Bb

Bb                      Eb            F          Bb
She's got the hit that takes you into space

Bb                  Eb            F          Bb
Suck mud and make a deal for that taste

Bb                          Eb          F          Bb
You got nothing, but you're riding on a star

Bb                               Eb            F          Bb
you couldn't guess that she could take you that far

Bb                 Eb      F          Bb
Some things are so hard to say

Bb                         Eb    F          Bb
Even though you'd say them every day

Bb                         Eb        F          Bb
Don't let your life be the butt of a joke

Bb                     Eb   F     Bb F  Bb
Get your lips around a cool black Pepsi Coke

(Random sincere emoting .......)
