Verse one

What a Em7hot and sultry summer,

The steam just Cadd9slides up off them streets

You Ggot to stay inside and wait for the night,

And then Dcome on over and see me

There's a Em7poetry about these streets,

It just sCadd9lips from your skin and goes right underneath

And mGama always knew I'd meet a girl like you,

But Dme, I never believed

Em7 D Cadd9

CDuz I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy

Cuz I've beenEm7 so lonely I Dcan't imagine that kind of Cadd9sympathy

She said, "I'm mEan enough my bBaby, come see about Eme"

Verse two

I had a dEm7ream about you once, and I could Cadd9barely see your form

And I mGet you between the wax and the needle,

In the wDords of my favorite song

Your bEm7lack hair was like a raven with your Cadd9tan skin on the beach

Your bGackdrop were the auroras and my siDdekick was all this grief

I've beenEm7 so low down, I'm almDost level with the grCadd9ound

Was it cC♯mold and strange like mine?

Are you mAan enough to lay here?

She said, "I'm mEan enough my bBaby, come see about Eme"

Bridge

Did they Etake you to the carnival to get lC♯mocked up on a Bride?

EMe, I got caught up with the fortune tellers

It took yAears my baby juBst to come clean,

Every stC♯mreetlight a reminderA

And Ball those apC♯mologies

And the nAight was lBonely next toC♯m me

Even the Anight was Blonely next to Eme
