Verse 1:
    Bb
I could see that the sun it was deadly
   Eb/Bb
She's putting her hand in the fire
  F7/A
Her velvety skin it was cooking
Cm            Cm/Bb         F7/A
Lily white (Lily white), lily white turning to raspberry
       Bb
But when she slips in between the sheets tonight
  Eb/Bb
The memory will linger and burn
       F7/A
And when she look at the face in the mirror
    Cm
What a terrible sight
Cm/Bb         F7/A
Lily white turning to raspberry
 F7sus4    F7 F7sus4 F7 F7sus4 F7

Gm Gmadd9    Gm Gmadd9 Gm Gmadd9 Gm  F Eb
  If it stings you sit in the o-   cean, oh no)

Verse 2:
    Bb
I could see that the guys were a hassle
  Eb/Bb
She tried to handle them cool
    F7/A
But her interbreeding was showing
Cm           Cm/Bb
Tumbling out on the banks of the old
      F7/A
Swimming pool (Oh, oh oh oh)
    Bb
So she buried her fears in a bottle
  Eb/Bb
The juices beginning to flow
    F7/A
And her stiff upper lip it was trembling
Cm          Cm/Bb          F7/A
Tripping her up, her words were beginning to roll
 F7sus4      F7 F7sus4   F7 F7sus4 F7
(Hush your mouth, you can't fool the na-  tives
Gm Gmadd9   Gm   Gmadd9  Gm Gmadd9 Gm F Eb
  Telegraph, they's going to re-lay  it, oh no)

Verse 3:
  Bb
I remember the tears in her eyes
  Eb/Bb
She tried to hide them away
    F7/A
But her time it was going too quickly
    Cm           Cm/Bb       F7/A
Just another few days, she'll soon be flying away
    Bb
But her memory will stay here forever
 Eb/Bb
A time she will never forget
    F/A
All the sun and the sand and the water
    Cm          Cm/Bb       F7/A
Such a beautiful place, she never got her feet wet

  She get a tan from under the sun  bed, oh no)
