Am               Am7M
There's perfume burning in the air
Am7                   Am6
Bits of beauty everywhere
BØ                E7              Am7   ( Bm7(b5)  E7 )
Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt
Am                      Am7M           Am7
She comes so close you feel her then
              Am6
She tells you no and no again
Bm7(b5)                 E7
Your lip is cut on the edge
                 D7     E7
Of her pleated skirt

      Am    Am7M   Am7   Am7M
Blue Alert
Am              Am7M
Visions of her drawing near
Am7                     Am6
Arise, abide, and disappear
Bm7(b5)                E7              Am7  ( Bm7(b5)  E7 )
You try to slow it down it doesn't work
Am                 Am7M
It's just another night I guess
Am7                Am6
All tangled up in nakedness
Bm7(b5)           E7                      D7
You even touch yourself  you're such a flirt
( Bm7(b5)  E7 )       Am7     Am7M
        Blue Alert

Dm7           E7                Am7
You know how nights like this begin
                       D7
The kind of knot your heart gets in
Dm7          E7               Am7     D7
Any way you turn is going to hurt

Dm7              E7
There's perfume burning in the air
Am7             D7
Bits of beauty everywhere
Dm7               E7              D7       E7
Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt

Blue Alert

Am              Am7M                 Am7
She breaks the rules so you can see
              Am6
She's wilder than you'll ever be
BØ         E7             Am7           E7
You talk religion but she won't convert

Am                Am7M
Her body's twenty stories high
Am7               Am6
You try to look away, you try
BØ                  E7              D7      E7
But all you want to do is get there first
       Am     Am7M
