repeat 4 times


[Verse 1]
E                    C#m
Seen her rockin' the Rainbow Store
E                                C#m
That pretty little doll that I'd seen before
A                        B
Stayed too long with the borderline
A                      B
My emotional landscape was street mind
E                                   C#m
What's left of my heart came out to cause a stir
E              C#m
She knew I was watchin' her
A                               B
Lookin' like she'd love to give all things form
A                         B
Started gettin' glad that I was born


[Chorus]
    F#                 B
She walked right up to me
      E                A
Said, "What's it gonna be?"
F#     E       B     B/D
At the rainbow store


[Verse 2]
E                    C#m
She came over and she pulled my hair
E                       C#m
Said, "hey boy, what ya doin' here?"
A                                      B
"Just shoppin' for my sister, it's her birthday soon"
A                           B
She knew it wasn't true but she was cool
E                          C#m
Pushed my neck against the elevator door
E                                   C#m
Kissed me like I'd never been kissed before
A                    B
Made a face so sweet and mean
A                  B
I went down like a submarine


[Chorus]
    F#                 B
She walked right up to me
      E                A
Said, "What's it gonna be?"
F#     E       B
At the rainbow store

[Verse 3]
E                        C#m
Went all the way down to the abyss
E                   C#m
It felt like almost happiness
A                      B
Never thought I'd find myself here
A                 B
Without guilt and without fear
E                     C#m
I never knew it could be alright
E                         C#m
I never knew bliss not to be finite
A                         B
You never know despair or languishment
A                              B
Once you live through complete disillusionment


[Chorus]
    F#                 B
She walked right up to me
      E                A
Said, "What's it gonna be?"
F#     E       B
At the rainbow store


[Chorus]
    F#                 B
She walked right up to me
E             A
There went my ennui
F#     E       B
At the rainbow store
