D           A     
Beauty today is only skin deep 
G                    D
Temptation is strong and the job ain't cheap 
D                  A
I've seen the spike up and down my arm 
G                                               D
Sailor's graves and tattooed snakes and broken hearts 
Workin' like a charm 

Chorus: 
G                      A                    D
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
G                      A                 D 
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return 

D
Get yourself a tattoo 
A
Don't think twice 
G                                                  D
You show it off in the disco, at school around the corner, 
ain't no lie 
D
Goin' down the road 
       A
With a pistol in my hand 
          G                    D
Johnny Tattoo is lookin' for you 

Chorus:
G                      A                      D 
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
G                      A                 D
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return (main sky)
G                        A                   D
You never ever gonna regret you've got a tattoo (what you're gonna tell her) 
G              A                 Bm
You tell your baby: I did it for you

Got it under my skin

For the rest of my life 
G                                                   D
I don't mind, I show it off around the neighbourhood 
Ain't no lie 
D
I've seen the spike 
A
Up and down my arm 
G                                            D
Sailor's graves and tattooed snakes & broken hearts 
Workin' like a charm 

Chorus: 
G                      A                      D 
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
G                      A                 D
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return (main sky)
G                          A                         D
Hey honey don't tell your mama keep her out of the blue (what you're gonna tell her) 
G             A                 Bm
You tell your ma: I did it for you 

Chorus: 
G                      A                      D 
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn
G                      A                 D
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return
G                              A                    D
Your lover will discover some day, you've got a tattoo (what you're gonna tell her) 
G                  A                   Bm
You just tell her: honey, I did it for you
