Capo on 3



         A                   C

If you THINK that a kiss is ALL in the lips

       G                  A

C'mon,    you got it all WRONG man

             A                       C

And if you THINK that our dance was ALL in the hips,

    G                A (Let ring)

Oh WELL, then do the twist

         A                     C

If you THINK holding hands is ALL in the fingers,

      G                          A A G A     

Grab HOLD of the soul where the MEMORY lingers, and

                   C

Make sure to never DO it with a singer

             G                   A A G

Cause he'll TELL everyone in the WORLD

           C C C G G A A G

But he was thinking about the girl

               C C C G G A  AA G     A

Yeah, but he's thinking about the girl, oh

                       C

A lot of people get CONFUSED and they bruise

      G                   A A G   A

Real EASY when it comes to LOVE

                             C

They start putting on their SHOES and walking out

              G                     A A G   A

And singing "BOY, I think I had ENOUGH"

                  C

Just because she MAKES a big rumpus

           G                 A   A   G              A

She don't MEAN to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy

                     C

Take a tip and do YOURSELF a little service

          G                      A A G

Take a MOUNTAIN turn it into a mole

          C        G      A

Just by PLAYIN a DIFFERENT ROLE

            C        G       A     A   A  G

Yeah, by PLAYIN a DIFFERENT ROLE, oh


Chorus (Strumming)

Em                                   

The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it

Em                                                A

And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it

Em

The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it

Em                                                 A

And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it

RIFF

A                  C

So what, somebody LEFT you in a rut

             G                        A

And wants to BE the one who's in control

           A                            C

But the FEELING that you're under can REALLY make you wonder

         G                 A (Let Ring)

How the HELL she can be so COLD

A                     C

So now you're left, DENYING the truth

           G                          A       A       
 A

And it's HIDDEN in the wisdom in the back of your tooth

                                 C

Ya need ta, spit it out, in a TELEPHONE booth

          G                     A A G

While ya CALL everyone that you know, and ask 'em

          C        G      A

Where do ya think she goes?

            C        G       A     A   A  G

Oh yeah, where d'ya spose she goes?


Chorus (Strumming)

Em

The truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it

Em                                                A A   A   A A G

And, the boat yeah you know she's still rockin' it

Em

The boat well ya know there's no rockin' it

Em                                                 A

And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it


RIFF


A                   C

You recognize the EFFECT and the wreck

            G                         A A G  A

That it's CAUSING when she rocks the boat

               C                     C

Well it's the CAUSE hittin on the CARDINAL Laws

            G                       C C G  C

'bout the PROPER place to hang her coat

       C         C

So to YOU, the TRUTH is still hidden

         G                       C    C C    C C   G  C

And the SOUL plays the role of a lost little kitten but

                           C

You should know that the DOCTORS weren't kidding

             G            C C G

She's been SINGING it all along

               C         G      C

But you were HEARIN' a DIFFERENT SONG

                 C         G      C

Yeah, you were HEARIN' a DIFFERENT SONG

               C         G      C     (Let All Ring)

But you were HEARIN' a DIFFERENT SONG
