  C                               D
A mother said, "Beware of boys in bands

C               D        C         G
Certainly don't let them write you songs

              C
For they will come to you on bended knee

    D
And kiss your pretty hands

         C                      D         C          G
When the singing's done and the sun's up, they'll be gone"

          G            D                C             G
While her mother has a point, I might resent the implication

     G             D                  C               G
That every boy who plays guitar plays women like Gene Simmons
[Verse 2]
C          D      C            D           C          G
4600 photographs, stuck into a scrapbook beneath your bed

C  D                    C                  D       C       G
4599 broken hearts, and one more you can't get out of your head

               G               D            C                   G
And though you swear you can remember every pair of lips you've kissed

G                D                     C                G
Deep down you're scared there's one or two you might've missed
[Chorus]
G  D   C     G     G    D    C   G
Oh-oh, Chaim Witz, wherefore art thou?

G    D    C  G   G    D   C   G   D
Does your mother know who you are now?
[Bridge]
         Em            D
Not that I can point a finger

            G               C
I've been a sinner just the same

       Em              D
Fallen hard in love in motels

       C                  G
And by sunrise lost their name

           Em             D
And I have crept out into cold air

       G                 C
In the smallest hours to leave

           Em            D
And in the pockets of my jacket

             C             G
I've kept my last infidelities

  A#                             A
A navy coin and a broken plastic compass that someone gave me

     G#                                  G
That can't find north anymore, just like me
[Chorus]
G  D   C    G        G    D    C   G
Oh-oh, Gene Simmons, wherefore art thou?

G D     C    G     G    D  C  G        D
I could sure use a hand on my shoulder now
[Outro]
       Em          D
When fidelity runs low

                 G               C
Then there's the moment when you choose

       Em                 D
In the life of things you love

         C              G
Some you keep, some you loose
