[Verse 2]
C
One more time, one more time.Shaking up and down my spine.
F C Jump a rope or skip a line or two. What can I do? C One more time, one more time. Color flashing neon signs. F C [bass slide: A:|8/3|] Advertising a friend of my distraction, latest attraction.
[Chorus]
F C Oh my body has been punished. Lord, I think I've had enough. F C Oh my body has been punished with too much and not enough. F C Oh my body has been punished and my mind can no longer bluff. G Am My mind is so unkind, my mind is so unkind. G It keeps me crying all the time. C I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say yesterday's a day away.
