 A (x02220@1)            C"Do (x32010@1)you want to touch a lot like me?"
G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1) Too scared to say a thing

B(p) (x2444x@1)              C(p) (x32010@1)Left your house and kicked myself

[Verse]
I needed some time to think it out
7-Eleven parking lot, a toothless woman turned and stopped
Gave her a dime and a Chesterfield
She leaned down and kissed my cheek
I was scared but it felt sweet   Felt so sweet

[Pre-chorus]
She asked me if I had a name
Told her I was glued up on some chick
We sat and smoked against the wall
Drank a beer, felt the chill of fall   Of fall

[Chorus]

  B (x2444x@1)      AI (x02220@1)drove so fast
G (320003@1)           F#/G             E (022100@1)       D (xx0232@1)       C (x32010@1) The wind it couldn't cool me down so I turned it around
    B (x2444x@1)       AAnd (x02220@1)came back up
G (320003@1)        F#/G            E (022100@1)         D (xx0232@1) You were waiting on your step, steam chilling off your
C (x32010@1)        B (x2444x@1)           Abreath (x02220@1)and water in your eyes
G (320003@1)              F#/G       E (022100@1)         D (xx0232@1) We pulled each other into one, parkas clinging on the

[Pre-chorus]
Said my chicks all smoke these things
Handed you a Chesterfield King
Held your hand and watched TV
Traced the little lines along your palm   Your palm

[Repeat chorus]
