     | A                            | F#m 
Let me put my arms around your head,      gee it's hot, let's go to bed 

| E6                               | E
  Don't forget to turn on the light, don't laugh, babe, it'll be alright
 

| A                             | F#m 
  Pour me out another phone, I'll ring and see if your friends are home 

 | E6                                  | E
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome can lend us a book we can read up alone


  | D                          | A
And try to get it on like once before

   | D                                | A
When people stared in Jagger's eyes and scored,

         F#m          | B
Like the video films we saw

  | C        D      G            | G7        E7     Am  | Am/G
His name was always Buddy and he'd shrug and ask to stay

    | D                  G            | C        C/B   D
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid and turn her face away

      | C       D      G               | G7        E7     Am       | Am/G
She's uncertain if she likes him but she knows she really loves him

     | D                    G
It's a crash course for the ravers

     | C    C/B  Am | C/G  D/F#  D/E

| A                                  | F#m
  Jung the foreman prayed at work that neither hands nor limbs would burst

   | E6                          | E
It's hard enough to keep formation in this fall out saturation

| A                            | F#m
  Cursing at the Astronette that stands in steel by his cabinet

   | E6                           | E
He's crashing out with Sylvian, the Bureau Supply for ageing men

   | D                           | A
With snorting head he gazes to the shore

    | D                                 | A
Which once had raised a sea that raged no more,

         F#m            B
Like the video films we saw
