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

Chorus
back into major:
Where'd you get them sEcars?
How blue is C♯myour heart?
Is it Asad enough to break?
She said, "it's sEad enough to bBreak"
How long was yourE life?
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"

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

Chorus
back into major:
Where'd you get them sEcars?
How blue is C♯myour heart?
Is it Asad enough to break?
She said, "it's sEad enough to bBreak"
How long was yourE life?
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"

Interlude

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
And the laC♯mdies with the sleepy Aeyes
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

Final chorus:
Where'd you get them sEcars?
How blue is C♯myour heart?
Is it Asad enough to break?
She said, "it's sEad enough to bBreak"
How long was yourE life?
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    C♯m
