    I know a girl mess with your mind (?)

    She'll come to you in the summer sometime

| G                 | D/F#                      | Em
    She'll talk about things you don't understand

    But there's no telling what she might do

Before her doin' days are through

            | D            | G   | %

    In some hotel 'bout nine months back

| G         | D/F#               | Em
    Now it is love that brings you here,
