A (x02220@1)                              DWhen (xx0232@1)she walks towards me I feel something
E (022100@1)              ACrawl (x02220@1)beneath my skin
                               DAnd (xx0232@1)all the electric stars are shining
   EBeneath (022100@1)my skin and

(chorus)
DCherry (xx0232@1)takes me to the place above
A(V)
With barbed wire kisses and her love
DWe're (xx0232@1)going where the ocean's blue
B (x2444x@1)               D (xx0232@1)          EKick (022100@1)the dust and you can come too

(repeat verse chords)
In the light of all my darkest moments
Things fall into place
And all the soft dark coloured awnings
Fall into place and

(chorus)
Cherry's scratching like a grain of sand
The trigger itch in the killer's hand
Me and Cherry are so extreme
Making love to the sound of a scream

  A (x02220@1) Oh Cherry honey you got me stuck on a rope
  You got me running around
                               D (xx0232@1) With the fear in my head for you
E (022100@1)          A (x02220@1) And I want you

A (x02220@1)                    D (xx0232@1) And I'll give you my head
E (022100@1)                     A (x02220@1) And all the things it said
                      D (xx0232@1) And I'd give you my thoughts
E (022100@1)                       A (x02220@1) If those things weren't lost
                       D (xx0232@1) And I'll give you my soul
E (022100@1)                    A (x02220@1) To beat it with your pole

I'm gonna give you my head

Oh and Cherry be bad
Come on and kiss my head
