Chords transcribed by John Spencer
EF#A She's a kick I couldn't miss BE Couldn't miss her little twist F#A Get it on and get it good BE Couldn't guess she ever would F#A Took up time and took up space BE She exists outside my space F#A All I wanted was too much BE All I wanted was to touch
F#B
A don't expect to F# get inside me A give you all I got to give B hit me again and again F# slip right to me AB and slide right through me F# oh honey through me EF#BA away from you
EF#BA
(same chords as first verse) She's a head I couldn't kick She's a head to make you sick It's a chance I never took When she caught me with that look It's a sin I've never seen And she tells me how it's been I'm in deep up to my head give it all until I'm dead
EF#B tumble down A stumble down
