Verse
EWhat (022100@1)a hot and sultry summer,
               C (x32010@1)                
The steam just slides up off them streets
           GYou (320003@1)got to stay inside and wait for the night,
         D (xx0232@1)       
And then come on over and see me
          EThere's (022100@1)a poetry about these streets, 
        C (x32010@1)                                 
It just slips from your skin and goes right underneath
    GAnd (320003@1)mama always knew I'd meet a girl like you, 
    DBut (xx0232@1)me, I never believed

E (022100@1)         D (xx0232@1)                        C (x32010@1)      DCuz (xx0232@1)I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy [x2]

Chorus
                     EWhere'd (022100@1)you get them scars?
                 C#How (x43121@1)blue is your heart?
      AIs (x02220@1)it sad enough to break?
                E (022100@1)           BShe (x2444x@1)said, "it's sad enough to break"
                  EHow (022100@1)long was your life?
         C#Was (x43121@1)it cold and strange like mine?
        A (x02220@1)      
Are you man enough to lay here?
               E (022100@1)           BShe (x2444x@1)said, "I'm man enough my baby, come see about me"

      GAnd (320003@1)I met you between the wax and the needle, 
       DIn (xx0232@1)the words of my favorite song
     E (022100@1)                                   CYour (x32010@1)black hair was like a raven, with your tan skin on the beach
     G (320003@1)                              DYour (xx0232@1)backdrop were the auroras and my sidekick was all this grief
