E                    C#m
Seen her rockin' the Rainbow Store

E                                C#m
That pretty little doll that I'd seen before

A                        B
Stayed too long with the borderline

A                      B
My emotional landscape was street mind

E                                   C#m
What's left of my heart came out to cause a stir

E              C#m
She knew I was watchin' her

A                               B
Lookin' like she'd love to give all things form

A                         B
Started gettin' glad that I was born


Chorus:

    F#                 B

Said, "hey boy, what ya doin' here?"

A                                      B
"Just shoppin' for my sister, it's her birthday soon"

A                           B
She knew it wasn't true but she was cool

E                          C#m
Pushed my neck against the elevator door

E                                   C#m
Kissed me like I'd never been kissed before

A                    B
Made a face so sweet and mean

A                  B
I went down like a submarine

E                        C#m
Went all the way down to the abyss

E                   C#m
It felt like almost happiness

A                      B
Never thought I'd find myself here

A                 B
Without guilt and without fear

E                     C#m
I never knew it could be alright

E                         C#m
I never knew bliss not to be finite

A                         B
You never know despair or languishment

A                              B
Once you live through complete disillusionment


Chorus:

    F#                 B
