Am                E/G#
Sort of wonder why no one said a word
                         C/G
Don't you like it on the sly?
                          Ab
Don't you like it till it hurts?
     Bb             Am                             E/G#
Have I been on your mind? What's a voice without a song?
                  C/G                            Ab
Something in your head you've been fighting all along...

Bb              Am
I don't want to say it, the news is not so good
We'll never get away, and even if we could
We'd just play the tambourine around an open flame
Oversleep and burn to be back in the game

       Bb           C                       E
'Cause summer never comes nowhere near high noon
                 Am                    Ab
And winter never comes nor the harvest moon

    C
Raw sugar
                                Bb
I don't want to die living in a high rise grave

My baby come home
Ab               Gm
(same black day, high rise grave)
                Am                E/G#
No I'm not complaining, yes it could be worse
                 C/G                            Ab
Ferment on the wish bone, match the lips to the purse
                 Am                       E/G#
Neighborhood's a runway, fry the ass and thighs
               C/G                        Ab
Dirty diamond dealers, pushed behind the ire's
       Bb            C                 Bb
'Cause summer never comes nowhere near high noon
                 Am                    Ab
And winter never comes nor the harvest moon

                 Am                           E7
Still I wear the red dress, paint my toes and twirl
                C                             Ab
Take it back to old times, when I was still a girl
       Bb          Am                             E7
'Cause now I'm all baboon boys, Cootchie Cootchie Coo
               C                       Ab
Sort of wonder why I missed a kiss for you
