riff 1 i'm the kind of guy that likes to talk i'm the kind of guy hates to be frozen out i can't stand it when i get this way total mental shutdown
riff 2              A7    C
& i choke up like a chump

      /B /A Eb/G          D/F#             A7   C
words in my throat just become a senseless lump

   /B      /A  Eb/G             D/F#    A7
my heart's not in it 'cause it's just a pump
riff 1 body lying out on the pavement eyes out of focus on the dirty street standing right here is the person i've been waiting for months to meet
  riff 2                            A7   C
& i just drop my eyes down like two rocks

  /B  /A  Eb/G    D/F#         A7    C
i hear my name, my circulation stops

   /B /A     Eb/G         D/F#         A7
i peer up at her like i'm looking at a cop
riff 1 riff 1 i'm the kind of dog that likes to sit in your lap i back away, about an inch tall that's my special situation
                                riff 2         A7    C
now if i think about her at all i become a raw nerve

      /B    /A    Eb/G  D/F#     A7    C
whole throat gets dry & vision blurred

         /B /A Eb/G      D/F#           A7    C      
thoughts in my head fall down like dead birds

        /B   /A   Eb/G        D/F#            A7   
i don't know what kind if any purpose i might serve
C /B /A Eb/G D/F# A7 C /B /A Eb/G D/F# A7
