Eb13add9       Db13add9     Gm7Gm7
    I'm working on gospel time these days

   Dm7Dm7
(The summer   the summer   this could be

  Dm7Dm7
the cool part of the summer)

Cm7Cm7
   The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room

    Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
 she's so severe

 D MajorD
A augmentedA wise child walks right out of here

Cmaj7Cmaj7
I'm so excited I can barely  cope

  Amaj7-5
I'm sizzling like an isotope

    EMaj7Emaj7
I'm on fire so cut me some slack

D6D6
First she's way gone  then she comes back

F#m7F#m7
She's all business then she's ready to play

Dbsus2Dbsus2
She's almost gothic in a natural way

|Amaj7-5   |


Eb13add9      Db13add9       Gm7Gm7
   This house of desire is built foursquare

   Dm7Dm7
(The city -   the cleanest kitten in the city)

Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
    When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard

  D MajorD
I'm hanging on her every word

Cmaj7Cmaj7
As if I'm not already blazed en ough

  Amaj7-5
She hits me with the cryptic stuff

      EMaj7Emaj7
That's her style - to jerk me around

D6D6
First she's all feel  then she cools down

F#m7F#m7
She's pure science with a splash of black cat

Dbsus2Dbsus2
  She's almost gothic and I like it like that

    In this dark place so  thrilling and new

It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view

Unless I'm totally wrong

     I hear her rap and brother it's strong


|Abm7sus4 Eb MajorEb   |


|Gm7sus4   C/DC/D   |


Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
   I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies

  D MajorD
But I just stand there hypnotized

Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
  I'll just have to make it work somehow

  Bbmaj7-5
I'm in the amen corner now

     Fmaj7Fmaj7
's called love -  I spell L -U- V

CHORUS:


Ebmaj9/6
First she's all buzz   then she's noise-free

Gm7Gm7
  She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say

Dadd9Dadd9
  She's almost gothic in a natural  way


|Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
               She's old

Ebmaj9/6
school  then she's like young

Ebmaj9/6
Little  Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat

Dadd9Dadd9
    She's almost gothic but it's better than that


|Bb6Bb6   |E13add9    |


|D13add9        |Dmaj7Dmaj7  Gm7addC…….
