Verse:

  A                                 A
There was a woman who was dancing beside the bay,
  A                               Bm
She wore a tight blue t-shirt and she swayed --
  Bm                              Bm
And the swing of her hips was calling my name.
  A                              A
And I had to keep her so I made her a key
  A                                           Bm
And I made her promise she would only dance for me...
  Bm                                 Bm
Soft, like a feather on the softest summer breeze. (Riff 1)

  A                           A
Pretty as poison on her very best day,
  A                                    Bm
She kicked around my world in shades of gray,
Continues after the ad
  Bm                                         Bm
And she smoke, and she swore and she stole my heart away...
  A                             A
And I had to keep her so I made her a key
  A                                            Bm
And I made her promise she would only dance for me...
  Bm                                      C#m
And we lived this close to perfect harmony...


Chorus:

    Bm                               A
And I know she treated me bad, but I had fun. (Part of Riff 1)
    C#m
And as for days: just so long as I was with her
    Bm                                              A
Gonna wake and know it's gonna be another beautiful one. (Riff 1)


Verse:

   A                                A
State of the Union 'til the day she left me:
   A                               Bm
I'm always happy and she's always mean.
   Bm                               Bm
But I was game since the name on the mailbox was me.
  A                                      A
'Til the day the make-up changed to turn the head of 'him,'
  A                                         Bm
And the house was emptier than it had ever been...
    Bm                                               C#m
And I could tell I'd been ruined by the smell of her skin...


Chorus:

    Bm                               A
And I know she treated me bad, but I had fun. (Part of Riff 1)
    C#m
And as for days: just so long as I was with her
    Bm                                              A
Gonna wake and know it's gonna be another beautiful one. (Riff 1) x2
