[Verse 1]
F
Damn she hurts the morning after
         Dm
Drunk on thinking I could have her
F                                 
Strung her out long like lights on
       Dm
 a balcony
F
Come Wednesday, she don't care
       Dm
Tuesday night I had her here
F                             
Like beads and feathers, it was 
                       Dm
heaven her hanging on me

[Chorus]
                  F
She took me for a ride, hit a new 
high
           Dm
Throwing confetti in her green eyes
            F                      
Trying like hell to hold the bell 
   Dm
of a ball
             F
She pulled me in a world of wonder
          Dm
It's a charade trying to love her
          F                        
It's like trying to save a soul

[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
F
Trashed my heart just like these 
streets
       Dm
Her perfume's all over me
     F                             
Just reminded me of a night I can't
    Dm
 forget
       F
She paraded me around
             Dm                    
Swirled eyes, not I had a crown on 
   F
my head till she left
              Dm
Thought she'd stay, but instead

[Chorus]
                  F
She took me for a ride, hit a new 
high
           Dm
Throwing confetti in her green eyes
            F                      
Trying like hell to hold the bell 
   Dm
of a ball
             F
She pulled me in a world of wonder
          Dm
It's a charade trying to love her
          F                        
It's like trying to save a soul

[Bridge]
          Bb
She ain't looking for love
Dm            F
No she's just looking for a real 
good time
    Bb                   Dm
And you can't change her weather
        F               C F
She's a hurricane every time

[Chorus]
                  F

Trying like hell to hold the bell 
   Dm
