Primeira Parte:
D9 D9/C#
Coming out of my cage
G7M(6)
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down
D9
Because I want it all
D9/C#
It started out with a kiss
G7M(6)
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
D9
It was only a kiss
D9/C#
Now I'm falling asleep
G7M(6)
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
D9
And she's taking a drag
D9/C#
Now they're going to bed
G7M(6)
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
