G  C     Am        D
Oh Roxy, don't you love me

G       C          Em  F
Is it because I'm American

G     C            Am      D                  G
Maybe it's because I don't grope you and your friends

         C               Am           D                 G
Like the fool behind you now, dancing halfway down your pants
[Interlude] G C Bm Am* G C Bm Am* [Verse 1]
G                  B7                  Am
Somewhere near the border of Spain and France

  D                            G
A bottle of bad red wine in my head

                B7                   Am
Sixty Francs to look like a fool and dance

D                               G
Mechanics understand not what I said

                   B7                   Am
Thinking 'bout the time that I had, how sad

    D                                     Cmaj7 G
Her one-word shirt describes my plight in red

        Cmaj7 G  Cmaj7 G
And her name

     C   D  D/F# G
Is a reoccurring theme
[Interlude] G C Bm Am* G C Bm Am* [Verse 2]
G                 B7                  Am
Start a move that everyone knows, the awkward pose

    D                                  G
And in the mean time, her eyes finding me

              B7                      Am
Reluctantly I start the approach, her eyes they glow

    D                                        G
But it's not glee, it's fear, that's why she flees

                B7                    Am
Sing of girls I wish that I knew, her eyes rung true

    D                                      Cmaj7 G
Her one-word short now stabbing, sparkling blue

        Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
And her name   

     C      D          D/F#
is a barely flickering flame
[Chorus]
G  C     Am        D
Oh Roxy, don't you love me

G       C          Em  F
Is it because I'm American

G     C            Am      D                  G
Maybe it's because I don't grope you and your friends

         C               Am           D                 G
Like the fool behind you now, dancing halfway down your pants
[Bridge Interlude] G Cm G Cm G Cm Am D [Bridge]
G      Cm              G        Cm        G
Roxy's spinning around or is it me that's down

         Cm           Am         D
How many fingers do I see, is it three by now

G         Cm                G               Cm          G
Stands on top of the stairs and screams for who, who cares

         Cm             D             D/F#             G
All that matters now is my eyes, like Apollo's, become clear
[Interlude] G C Bm Am* G C Bm Am* [Verse 3]
G                  B7                   Am
Somewhere near the border of pain and romance

    D                          G
Her name is undetermined as of yet

                B7             Am
Potential for a Roxy again has always been

    D                          G
The hardest part to get out of head

                  B7                Am
Comes full circle all in the end, I hope

      D                                  Cmaj7 G
Could one-word shirts in songs be just a joke

        Cmaj7 G  Cmaj7 G
And her name

     C          D      D/F#
Is a never-ever-ending game
[Chorus]
G  C     Am        D
Oh Roxy, don't you love me

G       C          Em  F
Is it because I'm American

G     C            Am      D                  G
Maybe it's because I don't grope you and your friends

         C               Am           D                 G
Like the fool behind you now, dancing halfway down your pants

G  C     Am        D
Oh Roxy, don't you love me

G        C         Em  F
Why do I gotta be  American

G     C            Am      D                  G
Maybe it's because I don't grope you and your friends

         C               Am           D                 G
Like the fool behind you now, dancing halfway down your pants
[Outro] G C Am D G C Am D
G  C        Am    D         G
Oh Roxy (Oh Roxy) yeah yeah yeah

   C        Am             D                   G
Oh Roxy (Oh Roxy) like the guy who's down your pants
[Ending Interlude] G C Bm Am* G C Bm Am* G
