Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Received your postcard

Mailed to the wrong address

You said everything is happening so fast

And your hair is mess

You been drinking too much liquor

You’re gonna stick to the wine

You say there’s a reason for all of this

You’re gonna write me a nice long letter when you got the time

Chorus

Everybody knows when you take off your clothes

Everybody knows you got a tattoo that shows

Me and you in barrel going down Niagara Falls

Verse

You’ve been stripping in the nightclub

Working on the street

It’s all a sex money mindgame

We’re just a piece of meat

You’ve been driving into Buffalo

Cruising the bars

I said “Baby, when they’re through with you

There’re gonna pickle your heart and put it in a jar”

Chorus

Everybody knows when you take off your clothes

Everybody knows you got a tattoo that shows

Me and you in barrel going down Niagara Falls

Vere:

I received your Telex – from ITT

You said everything‘s happening so slow

What’s to become of me?

And you’ve been doing too much jogging

And you’re all shook up

You can’t stay off the telephone

And your goodbyes are abrupt

(You better hang it up!)

Chorus

Everybody knows when you take off your clothes

Everybody knows you got a tattoo that shows

Me and you in barrel going down Niagara Falls
