Verse 1:
A            E
 When I turned 16 I was furious and restless
   D             A        E
Got a chelsea girl haircut and a plane ticket to Paris

 I stayed there with Pansy, he had a studio in the seventh

Lost his lover to a sickness, I slept beside him in his bed

 That's when I met Nancy, she was smoking on a gypsy
     D                        A  E
She had a ring in her nose and her eyes were changing like moodstones

     F#m        Bm    C#m         Bm
She said:   "Open up late bloomer,  it will make you smile"
F#m           Bm    C#m       Bm   (Fill 1| A:-2--0-2--0-2--0-2-4-2-0-)
  "I can see that fire burning,  in you little child."

Verse 2:
A                  E
 Nancy came from Boston, she got in trouble very often
     D                A       E
Cause her parents had forgotten her, she escaped over the pond
A                    E
 She was searching for the writer of a song that made her shiver
       D          A     E
She listened over and over on her Walkman cassette

       F#m          Bm    C#m       Bm
And she said:  "Come with me late bloomer,  for a little while"

Verse 3:
A                E
 How could I resist her, I had longed for a big sister
   D             A     E
And I wanted to kiss her, but I hadn't the nerve
A               E
 We found the writer, he was just some kid from Boston
   D            A      E
I was jealous as I watched him  talking to her
A                   E
 But man was I astonished, he didn't look like no Adonis
    D             A    E
But as Nancy had promised, he was heavy as led

And he said:  "Come with us late bloomer,  for a little while"

  "We wanna feel that fire burning,  in you little child."

Verse 4:
A            E
 Give me my candor, but I just had to have her
      D         A       E
And at the time I didn't mind  sharing with him
A               E
 We rode in silence, all the way back to the seventh
   D             A    E
And I promised I'd write her but I never did

       F#m         Bm   C#m       Bm
And she said:  "Au revoir, late bloomer,  for a little while"
