Key:
A7 D7 A7 I gave a party, I said you could
D7 come
A7 D7 A7 You showed up at my door with
Bm7 Cm6 A7/C# all your leathers on
A7 D7 I said, “This must be wrong, it can't be right.
A/E How can you make love to me
F#7 C#m7/G# Am6 dressed up for a fight?
F#7 B7 E7sus4 Pick me up off the floor. No more, 'cause you surely can't be mine.” [Verse 2]
A7 D7 A7 D7
A7 D7 A7 D7 Religion came, almost overnight
A7 D7 A7 You were the high priest and I
A7/C# was the sacrifice
Continues after the ad
D7 I said, “This must be wrong, this can't be right
A/E F#7 Take off your stupid robe and put
C#m7/G# Am6 down your knife!
F#7 B7 These ropes are getting' tight,
E7 all right, you surely can't be
A7 mine.” [Verse 3]
A7 D7 A7 I come home half dead, late on a
D7 Saturday night
A7 D7 You stand on the bed and tell me
A7 D7 you're learning to fly
D7 I said, “Take off your boots, take off your cape,
A/E F#7 Throw away your long johns, I ain't no Lois Lane,
B7 Before I get my kryptonite. All
E7sus4 A7 right, you surely can't be mine.” [Verse 4]
A7 D7 A7 D7
A7 D7 A7 I was ready for love, big brass
D7 bed and all
A7 D7 I was ready for love, you said,
A7 D7 “Let's talk about the war.”
D7 I said, “What war? What war?
A/E Take off your shoes and don't you
F#7 worry me no more.
B7 I ain't no fly by night. All
E7sus4 D7 C6 right. You surely can't be mine.”
F7 A
