Intro: C
      CShe (x32010@1)was a livewire, she was stuck in the past
   F (133211@1)                              GI (320003@1)was holding the middle, you was waking up fast
  CIt (x32010@1)was four in the morning, she was holding on tight
F (133211@1)                        Gto (320003@1)a David Bowie look a like circa '85
  CNow (x32010@1)he's turning up his amplifier, staring at his toes
  F (133211@1)                                  GEven (320003@1)when he's looking at you he's still looking down his nose
    CSounds (x32010@1)like surf music maybe more than just a little
   F (133211@1)                                  Gbut (320003@1)to me it's just another form of California dribble
Gthe (320003@1)top and bottom look straight to me but shaky in the middle

C (x32010@1)                   AmWell (x02210@1)there's something to be learned here
       F (133211@1)                     GThough (320003@1)it may seem a little insincere
     C (x32010@1)                   AmLike (x02210@1)a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
        F (133211@1)                          GYou're (320003@1)a country singer I'm a cavalier

CWell (x32010@1)I wanna know the whole story over
          F (133211@1)                   
Where you came from, where you going,
       GHowever (320003@1)long it takes to know you
        CWith (x32010@1)your heavy metal heartbeat, Salty but you seem sweet
F (133211@1)                       GTippy (320003@1)toes on both feet, Rockin to the teen beat

CWell, (x32010@1)ice cream, soda pop, bourbon on top
           F (133211@1)                               GSome (320003@1)people call it rock and roll and some people call it pop
           CSome (x32010@1)call it country music every time you use a fiddle
              F (133211@1)                       G (320003@1)              
How am I supposed to know if that's a fact or just a riddle?
        GToo (320003@1)tight around the edges, leave a little room to wiggle.

C (x32010@1)                      AmWell (x02210@1)there's something to be learned here
     F (133211@1)                      GThough (320003@1)it may seem a little insincere
   C (x32010@1)                     AmLike (x02210@1)a cruel clown grinning ear to ear

Oh oo oh oo oh (x8) (same chord progression as chorus)
