Intro
G#m
[Verso 1]
G#m E B
Oh, sundown finds her running but the night pushes her deep
D#m
within the tunnel
G#m E B
She camouflages herself in dayglo paint and sings her love songs through a
D#m
funnel
E G#m E
Whoa, she clings to the walls like a cat who calls the shots for life and for
F#
death
E G#m
Wearing nothing but the make-up that she uses to try and cover up for herself
E F#
Whoa, but she can't hide her sword
E G#m
She gives no terms for surrender, she's living the Third World War
[Verso 2]
G#m E B
Now the tunnel police, they steadily increase the search for where she hides
D#m
her kids
G#m E B
Yeah, she swings on a vine across the State Line, they measured the length of
D#m
her skid
E G#m E F#
She never goes back to do something she didn't or undo something she did
E
Her smoke streams from the street and the night is complete with a long and
G#m
fiery belch
E G#m
Well, she's just another Orphan Annie hung up pushing for a mademoiselle.
G#m E B D#m
And she rides like Caesar, brandishing a whip on the hood of his squad car
G#m E B D#m
As the siren wails, she silently sails leaving cat prints in the tar
E G#m E
Oh, she breaks with the dawn and by morning she's gone leaving nothing but
F#
another night
E G#m E G#m
She returns to her home like a dog returns for a bone, another unsatisfied wife
[Verso 3]
G#m E B
And there's little Booth secure from the truth, he wants her more than he's got
D#m
the guts to say
G#m B G#m
But as she needs to be real, he needs to conceal the realness of his place.
G#m E
So he sings a little song and in a chiffon sarong she performs a black ballet in
F#
Space
G#m F#
But she's just another flop with a fancy name, he's just another cop with a
G#m
pretty face
G#m D#m E G#m
So together they commit the ballroom crime as two hearts in true waltz time
