She by the Jesus and Mary Chain from the album Stoned and Dethroned chords and lyrics transcribed by John Spencer
(intro) EAEAEAEA
EA she comes undone EA got no fix she had no fun EA tries to shoot holes in the sun EA it's got her running
she comes complete with her switchblade and her speed but she can't take all this heat it's got her hiding
(chorus)
F# but I just don't get her A* E no I just don't get her at all AE she wants to break my fall AE she doesn't speak at all AEA she wants to break my fall
she spends her day on her knees she likes to pray you can always hear her say that life means something
she spends her time out of space and out of line planning some unholy crime that comes to nothing
(repeat chorus)
EF#A* EF#A*
EF#A* how do you think it feels? EF#A* she said how do you think it feels? EF#A* she said how do you think it feels? EF#A* how do you think it feels? EF#A* how do you think it feels?
