G C G
She's a broken-winged angel, refugee from things her Mama knew
C D D7
And she's done everything, ooh, the Bible said not to do
G C G
Well I don't know if she believes in Jesus, the good book, or even Satan you see
C Am7 D
I'm just trying to get her to believe in me
C D
Oh 'cause when I see her face no matter where I am I'm in the right place
Em Am D
And the girls I left behind, oh, they never satisfied me, it's so true
C D G C G D
But baby, baby, you do
G C G C
She's the belle of Eighth Street, high society's midnight vamp
G C D D7
Oh she's my queen, yeah and I'm her tramp
G C G
Yes she's a free falling flyer and she flows whichever way that the wind blows
C Am
And she's the only woman I ever knew
C Am D
Who could teach me more about me, bind me in chains and still let me be free
C D
Oh and my heart swells up inside, starts beating like I'm gonna die
Em Am D
And my body breaks in pain as she falls down on me like the rain
C D G
It's only her and my songs that keep me from going insane
Bm C7+
And I guess I'm one of those people who measures love in pain
Bm A C G
You see, I never had too much personal success
Bm C7+
And to me there's nothing sweeter than a teardrop of rain
A D
I just love that feeling of sadness
G
Oh and it worries me so
G C G
She's my West Side angel, she looks so funky in her Hollywood wings
C D
And she knows how I stumble when I talk, so she says, "Don't talk at all babe, just sing"
G C G
And I have seen her body in candle glow in the deep heart of the night when you finally let loose of everything
C Am7 D
Oh and she loves me like such a good woman and still, oh, she's just a sweet young thing
C D
And I know this might sound crazy or untrue or maybe just the words of a young fool
Em Am
But I swear I'd be on the floor if she ever walked out the door
D
I swear I'd wish that she would shoot me first
C D
And I know that sounds insane but sometimes I believe it's true
G
And that's what scares me worst
C D G
'Cause I dance for her, take any chance with her
C G C
And I pray for her, Lord God knows I pray for her
C G C
And I kneel for her, and I bleed for he
