Almost Gothic
|Amaj7 C#m7 | |Amaj7 C#m7 | |
|Amaj7 B7 |Amaj7 C#m7 |Gbsus2/Bb Bsus2 |
Eb13add9 Db13add9 Gm7
I'm working on gospel time these days
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7 Dm7
(The summer the summer this could be
Gm7 Dm7
the cool part of the summer)
Dbmaj7 Cm7
The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room
Bbmaj7
she's so severe
D7/Eb G7sus4/D
A wise child walks right out of here
Dmaj7 Cmaj7-5 Cmaj7
I'm so excited I can barely cope
Bmaj7 Amaj7-5
I'm sizzling like an isotope
Emaj7 Abm7 Emaj7
I'm on fire so cut me some slack
Abm7 Gmaj7 D6 Gmaj7 D6
First she's way gone then she comes back
Gmaj7 D6 Gmaj7 F#m7
She's all business then she's ready to play
Bmaj7 Absus4/Eb Absus2/C Dbsus2
She's almost gothic in a natural way
|Amaj7 Emaj7 |Amaj7-5 |
Eb13add9 Db13add9 Gm7
This house of desire is built foursquare
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7 Dm7
(The city - the cleanest kitten in the city)
Dbmaj7 Cm7 Bbmaj7
When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard
D7/Eb G7sus4/D
I'm hanging on her every word
Dmaj7 Cmaj7-5 Cmaj7
As if I'm not already blazed en ough
Bmaj7 Amaj7-5
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
Emaj7 Abm7 Emaj7
That's her style - to jerk me around
Abm7 Gmaj7 D6 Gmaj7 D6
First she's all feel then she cools down
Gmaj7 D6 Gmaj7 F#m7
She's pure science with a splash of black cat
Bmaj7 Ab7sus4/Eb Absus2/C Dbsus2
She's almost gothic and I like it like that
Am9 D9 Fmaj7-5/A D9 |Am9 D9 |
In this dark place so thrilling and new
|Fmaj7-5/A D9 |
Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Amaj7/B
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
Fmaj9 C9
Unless I'm totally wrong
Bbmaj7-5 Amadd9 |E9 |D6/9 |
I hear her rap and brother it's strong
|Abm7sus4 Db/Eb |Abm7sus4 Db/Eb |Abm7sus4 Db/Eb |
|Gm7sus4 C/D |Gm7sus4 C/D |Gm7sus4 C/D |
Dbmaj7 Cm7 Bbmaj7
I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies
D7/Eb G7sus4/D
But I just stand there hypnotized
Ebmaj7 Dbmaj7
I'll just have to make it work somehow
Cmaj9/6 Bbmaj7-5
I'm in the amen corner now
Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
's called love - I spell L -U- V
CHORUS:
Am7 Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6 Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6
First she's all buzz then she's noise-free
Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6 Abmaj7 Gm7
She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say
Cmaj7 A7sus4/E Asus2/C# Dadd9
She's almost gothic in a natural way
|Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 |Bbmaj7
She's old
Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6 Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6
school then she's like young
Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6 Abmaj7 Ebmaj9/6
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
Cmaj7 A7sus4/E Asus2/C# Dadd9
She's almost gothic but it's better than that
|Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 |Bbmaj7 Bb6 |E13add9 |
|D13add9 |Dmaj7 Gm7addC��.
