The Asphalt World

[Verse]
Am       G                   F            E
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world
Am       G                   F            E
She comes to me, I supply her with Ecstasy
Am                                 G
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
     F                              E
Like big stars in the backseat like skeletons ever so pretty
Am       G                   F            E
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world

[Chorus]
                   Dm
But where does she go?
                   Dm
And what does she do?
G       G#       Am
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
                    C      D               F
And who does she love in her time-honoured fur?
G      G#      Am
Is it me or her?

[Verse]
Am       G                   F            E
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world
Am       G                   F            E
She's got a friend, they share mascara, I pretend
Am                                 G
Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river
F                                     E
For these silent stars of the cinema, It's in the bloodstream, it's in the liver
Am       G                   F            E
I know a girl she walks the arse-felt world

[Chorus]
                   Dm
But where does she go?
                   Dm
And what does she do?
G       G#       Am
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
                    C      D               F
And who does she love in her time-honoured fur?
G      G#      Am
Is it me or her?

[Chorus]
                   Dm
With ice in her blood
                   Dm
And a Dove in her head
G       G#       Am
Well, how does she feel when she's in your bed?
                          C
When you're there in her arms
D                F
And there in her legs
G      G#      Am
Well I'll be in her head

[Chorus]
                   Dm
'Cos that's where I go
                   Dm
And that's what I do
G       G#       Am
And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel
                    C D F
Yes both of us need h-e-r,
            G G#    Am
this is the asphalt world
