Capo III Fret
Intro
(E5) I gave up pamento cheese
Domino's delivery
Whiskey sours
Apple pies
Finger-lickin' chicken fried
Are (B5) gastronomic history
I (E5) used to like them scary shows
But I gave 'em up a while ago
Don't do no death-defyin'
Rollercoster ridin'
(B5) Now days I just take it slow
Ever (C) since we started datin'
(D) I been compensating
To (C) keep from gettin' up
To (D) heaven any quicker
'Cause, she's (A5) hard on the ticker
(E5) Hard on the ticker
The (D5) girl is such a hazard that she (A5) oughta have a sticker
Sayin' (E5) hard on the ticker
Now, (E5) when she wiggles through my door
My chin gets heavy hits the floor
Silky hair, scarlet lips
Swingin' double-jointed hips
My (B5) blood begins to roar
And (E5) when she nibbles on me ear
It's partly pleasure, partly fear
Little dab is all it takes
To get my heart a palpatatin'
(B5) Feelin' like the end is near
I (C) oughta get a policy
Of (D) double indemnity
It'd (C) make my beneficiary
A (D) whole lot richer
'Cause, she's (A5) hard on the ticker
(E5) Hard on the ticker
The (D5) girl is such a hazard that she (A5) oughta have a sticker
Sayin' (E5) hard on the ticker
Solo
I (C) oughta get a policy
Of (D) double indemnity
It'd (C) make my beneficiary
A (D) whole lot richer
'Cause, she's (A5) hard on the ticker
(E5) Hard on the ticker
The (D5) girl is such a hazard that she (A5) oughta have a sticker
Sayin' (E5) hard on the ticker
