C                     Am

Listen girl I might
            C                    Am

If you ask me very nice
C                    Am                F
I just might tell you the truth
                                            C              Am
Because you give me love and I like it
            C                            Am
And charming as you might be
C                  Am            F
Listen girl you like it to
 

C                 Am

All of the corner kids

                  C                Am
They're looking for joy

C                        Am                            F
Dreaming of playgrounds and toys

                        C                        Am
Well they're dreaming no more

                            C                    Am
'Cause they've been there before

            C                    Am            F
And now they just sit and absorb

                        C                                Am

Like when I couldn't get out of bed
        C                        Am
Oh I could hardly walk
        C                        Am
But I come here to muse
    C                      Am
I come here to talk

To say listen girl ...

                    C
And the fluids
            Am                        C
That hold me in my mind
        Am                C

A candle in the way
            Am                    F

To falling back in time
            C

And beer
            Am            C

The wilful little tout
                Am                        C

That brightens up my nights
            Am                        F

But hoodoo when I'm awake
