D MajorD        A augmentedA
I really don't know

where this story began

My friend Houston had got

himself a girl

Swank is her name

Around each other
        A augmentedA
intoxicating their minds

 D MajorD     A augmentedA
Dancing in the street
  B minorBm        F# minorF#m
under suburban lights
  G+G        D MajorD
They stumbled to the concrete
       A augmentedA
without a hurt

They're on their own
