Gm Gm+7
There's perfume burning in the air
Gm7Bits of beauty Gm6everywhere
Bm7Shrapnel flying, sG7oldier hit the dGm7irt    Bm7     G7  
Gm Gm+7 Gm7
She comes so close you feel her then
She tells you Gm6no and no again
Bm7Your lip is cut G7on the edge
Of her C7pleated skirt G7  

Gm Gm+7 Gm7 Gm+7
Blue Alert
Gm Gm+7
Visions of her drawing near
Gm7Arise, abide, and disappGm6ear
Bm7You try to slow it dowG7n it doesn't worGm7k

Gm Gm+7
It's just another night I guess
Gm7All tangled up in nGm6akedness
Bm7You even touch youG7rself  you're such a fliC7rt

Blue Alert


Cm7You know how nG7ights like this beGm7gin
The kind of knot your hC7eart gets in
Cm7Any way you tG7urn is going to hGm7urt     C7  

Cm7There's perfume bG7urning in the air
Gm7Bits of beauty eC7verywhere
Cm7Shrapnel flying, sG7oldier hit the dC7irt      G7

Gm Gm+7 Gm7
She breaks the rules so you can see
She's wilder tGm6han you'll ever be
Bm7You talk relG7igion but she wGm7on't convert  G7  

Gm Gm+7
Her body's twenty stories high
Gm7You try to look awGm6ay, you try
Bm7But all you want to G7Do is get there C7first   G7
