Slide D/E


[Verse 1]
D    E
Heartless
D    E
Reckless
          D
There's a devil on my shoulder and he's doublin' down
 D
Throwin' his weight all over town
D  E
Stable
        D E
Off the table
          D
I've been shruggin' off Redemption for Judgment Day
A
Threw it all out before I held it
                                      E
Now you gonna meet the real Big Velvet


[Verse 2]
D   E
Trouble
         D E
With the women
        D
I can't walk in a room that I ain't been in
      D
If we hadn't hooked up, we might be friends
D E
Cocaine
       D E
Meet tequila
      D
We'll do the twist 'til the mornin' comes
D
Run my veins 'til I go numb
A
Threw it all out before I held it
                                      E
Now you gonna meet the real Big Velvet


[Chorus]
E
Scandalous
                   D
Livin' is wild and painful
         E
Still, I manifest
                                 B    E
My dreams 'cause I'm willing and able

(Come meet Big Velvet)


[Verse 3]
D E
Shameful
        D E
Hell, I know
          D
There's a laundry list that will read for days
D
Talk about this a million ways
      D   E
Drink red wine
       D   E
From a jug
            D
When you're bowin' down to the wanin' moon
D
Maybe hell is hauntin' you
  A
I know that you can't see it yet
                                            E
But you're about to meet the real Big Velvet


[Verse 4]
    D     E
The train wrecked
                D  E
But I walked away
         D
When you finally look up and see how far you fell
       D
In the pits of your own hell
              D   E
It feels so familiar
        D
Well, I took a while to fall back in line
   D
Up here on top, I see just fine
A
Sold all my records before then you shelved any
                                    E
Nobody ready for the real Big Velvet


[Outro]
E
Ain't nobody ready for the real Big Velvet
E
Ain't nobody ready for the real Big Velvet
E
Oh, come meet Big Velvet
E
Come meet Big Velvet
E
Well, come meet Big Velvet
