Intro G Am G Am G Am C D

G              Am
we were drinking colorado bulldogs
G         Am
when inspiration struck
G          Am C
and we knew it was high time
C            D
for us to change our own luck

G                Am
we cracked a couple coca colas open
G                 Am
mixed them up with vodka and some coffee liqueur
G                  Am
poured in some cold milk, raised our glasses high to old friends
C          D
my love for you is 98 percent pure.

    C        G
but the 2 percent that remains
C              D
has fried the circuits in my brain.


G          Am
I got out my smoking jacket
G                 Am
you put on some fishnets and your smart black beret,
G              Am
we cut quite a figure in the mirror
C            D
and then we were on our way.

G            Am
Oh would that you would kiss me
G            A
with the kisses of your mouth.
G                Am
Cause your mouth is sweeter than wine and has
C                  D
a more complicated history than the american south

C           G
As the evening took us in
C                      D
you could've popped the tension with a safety pin.

G             Am
we went down to pete brown chevrolet,
G            Am
cause pete brown satisfy all your new car needs.
G            Am
we were nicely oiled by then
C                  D
our internal transponders picking up satellite feeds

G           Am
from well worn ancient places.
G             Am
our eager young sales rep handed us the keys
G              Am
we drove about 3 quarters of a mile,
C               D
all that's left for us now are moments like these.

C                G
we parked behind the high school away from the light
C                  D
and the flames climbed high into the night...
