[verse]:
G you never had to wait for nothing in your life
Bm i guess wanting you must have been a steel blue knife
G and when night after night the scent of passion would linger
Bm you had to have the jewels wrapped around your finger
CD now you keep running down the road in your midnight state of mind
CD curiosity kills if you can't read the signs
[chorus]
G dancing with the ?wall made you bitter sweet
Bm there ain't much you can do when they just lay it at your feet
G but could you tell by the song I wanted to be the one
Bm did you listen again when the damage was done
CD now the paint's still wet in your do-it-by-number dream
CD were you gonna tell me how it felt, will you tell me what it means
[chorus]
