[Intro]
G F#m#5 Em D C Emaddb13 Am G F#m#5 Em D C Emaddb13 Am
[Verse]
G F#m#5 Em D C
She was trapped in my peripheral vision like a long lost silhouette
G F#m#5 Em D C
She was fine and dirty and curly and loose
G F#m#5 Em D C
And from that sacred moment when the ends of our fingers met
G F#m#5 Em D C
I felt a shiver go down into the heels of my cowboy boots
G F#m#5 Em D C
See I was cornered like a rat in a prewar drugstore raid
G F#m#5 Em D C
And I was ranting and raving and reciting the raunchy blues
G F#m#5 Em D C
Yeah she knew a thing or two so I didn't have much to say
G F#m#5 Em D C
She said I'm here my dear to deliver the good news
[Interlude]
G F#m#5 Em D C Emaddb13 Am G F#m#5 Em D C Emaddb13 Am
[Verse]
G F#m#5 Em D C
You see I felt my life was already over but my moment had just begun
G F#m#5 Em D C
So I saw my chance and I grabbed it as best as I could
G F#m#5 Em D C
So I lay down in her sweet smelling soulfully seductive quicksand
G F#m#5 Em D C
Though the ghost of romance stood behind me and might have given me a push
G F#m#5 Em D C
We had no friends in common except mister and misses happenstance
G F#m#5 Em D C
And I was talking more and more about movies and books
G F#m#5 Em D C
Then I ran out of words and I asked her well can I have this dance
G F#m#5 Em D C
And she thought that was funny and gave me a very, very special look
[Interlude]
G F#m#5 Em D C Emaddb13 Am G F#m#5 Em D C Emaddb13 Am
[Verse]
G F#m#5 Em D C
Well the parade was passing and I was marching right behind the majorette
G F#m#5 Em D C
She was throwing her baton much higher than the oldest oak tree
G F#m#5 Em D C
There was such symbolism I thought Christ had risen and I just had to forget
G F#m#5 Em D C
And start over again from the day I stood at my daddy's knew
G F#m#5 Em D C
When he said son there's a few things here that I gotta tell you
G F#m#5 Em D C
And he bent down low to whisper in my childish ear
G F#m#5 Em D C
When just then a squadron of jet fighters passed right over my head
G F#m#5 Em D C
And he said promise me boy you'll always keep that thought dear
