[Intro] D G x4
D                                                     G  D  G
I don't like those other guys looking at your curves.

D                                                   G  D  G
I don't like you walking round with physical jerks.

D                                                   G  D  G
Ev'rything they say and do is getting on my nerves.

D                                                   G  D
Soon they will be lucky to be picking up the perks.

  G     F#m                                   Bm
'Cause when they pull the shutters down and throw up in the dark,

        Em                                      G                    A
they'll find out that all the dogs outside bite much worse than they bark.

 D                               Em7             Bm
Here we are living in paradise, living in luxury.

      F#m                            Bm
Oh the,  the thrill is here, but it won't last long.

          F#m                        E
You better   have your fun before it   moves along.

           D            A                Bm              G
And you're   already looking for another,   a fool like me.

D                                                G  D  G
I call you Betty Felon 'cause you are a pretty villain.

D                                                             G  D  G
And I think that I should tell them that you'd make a pretty killing.

D                                                       G  D  G
'Cause meanwhile, up in heaven they are waiting at the gate,

D                                                                       G  D  G
Saying, "We'd always knew you'd make it, didn't think you'd come this late"

G    F#m                             Bm
And now it's much too dangerous to stop what you've begun

      Em                      G      A
When everyone in paradise carries a gun

 D                               Em7             Bm
Here we are living in paradise, living in luxury.

      F#m                            Bm
Oh the,  the thrill is here, but it won't last long.

          F#m                        E

           D            A                Bm              G
And you're   already looking for another,   a fool like me.

D                                          G  D  G
Later in the evening when arrangements are made

D                                          G  D  G
I'll be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door

D                                                   G  D  G
'Cause I'm the first to know whenever the plans are laid

D                                    G  D  G
That never go further than floor to floor

G     F#m                        Bm
You think that I don't know the boy that you're touching

Em                           G            A
But I'll be at the video and I will be watching

D
Here we are living in paradise

           D            A                Bm              G
And you're   already looking for another,   a fool like me.
