Key: A

Introduction:

 Ab   Ab/G                 Fm7 
I'm counting out time,
                 Ab                             C#7M 
Got the whole thing down by numbers.
                     Ab/C                         Bb 
All those numbers! Give me guidance!
     Eb7                           Ab 
O Lord I need that now.
         Ab/G                             Fm7 
The day of judgement's come,
                         Ab                           C#7M 
And you can bet that I've been resting,
                     Ab/C           Bb 
for this testing, digesting every
 Eb7                           Ab 
word the experts say.
                     F#           C#/F   Ab 
Erogenous zones I love   you.
     B                                             F#                 Ab7 
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
 Ab7 
Found a girl I wanted to date,
Thought I'd better get it straight.
       Ab7             Bb7                 C# 
I studied every line, every page in the book,
 D                                 D/C                                   Bb 
Now, I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look.
 Ab   Ab/G                 Fm7 
I'm counting out time,
 Ab                                   C#7M 
hoping it goes like I planned it,
                           Ab/C 
'cos I understand it.
                       Bb                                   Eb7                       Ab 
Look! I've found the hotspots, Figures one to nine.
             Ab/G                 Fm7 
still counting out time,
               Ab                 C#7M 
got my finger on the button,
                       Ab/C                     Bb 
"Don't say nothin' - just lie there still
                   Eb7                                       Ab 
And I'll get you turned on just fine."
                     F#           C#/F  Ab 
Erogenous zones I love you.
     B                                             F#                   Ab7 
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
 Ab7 
Touch and go with 1-6.
Bit of trouble in zone No. 7.
                 Ab7         Bb7             C# 
Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils.
   D                 D/C             Bb 
"Honey get hip! It's time to unzip,
to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip. Whipee!"

 Ab   Ab/G                 Fm7 
I'm counting out time,
     Ab                   C#7M 
reaction none to happy,
                             Ab/C 
Please don't slap me,
             Bb                                               Eb7                                     Ab 
I'm a red blooded male   and the book said I could not fail.
         Ab/G                 Fm7 
I'm counting out time,
               Ab                 C#7M 
I got unexpected distress
                 Ab/C 
from my mistress,
                         Bb                                   Eb7                           Ab 
I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away.
                       F#           C#/F         Ab 
Erongenous zones I question you
     B                                             F#       Ab 
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
     B                                             F#       Ab 
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
     B                                   F#                             Ab       C#m 
Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues.
