Em7
What a hot and sultry summer
C9
The steam just slides up off them streets
G
You got to stay inside and wait for the night
D
And then come on over and see me
Em7
There's a poetry about these streets
C9
It just slips from your skin and goes right underneath
G
And mama always knew I'd meet a girl like you
D
But me I never believed
D
Cuz I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy
Em7 D C9
Cuz I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy
E
Where'd you get them scars?
C#m
How blue is your heart?
A
Is it sad enough to break?
E B
She said "it's sad enough to break"
E
How long was your life?
C#m
Was it cold and strange like mine?
A
Are you man enough to lay here?
E B E
She said "I'm man enough my baby come see about me"
Em7 C9
I had a dream about you once and I could barely see your form
G
And I met you between the wax and the needle
D
In the words of my favorite song
Em7 C9
Your black hair was like a raven with your tan skin on the beach
G D
Your backdrop were the auroras and my sidekick was all this grief
Em7 D C9
I've been so low down I'm almost level with the ground
E
Where'd you get them scars?
C#m
How blue is your heart?
A
Is it sad enough to break?

How long was your life?

Was it cold and strange like mine?
A
Are you man enough to lay here?
E B E
She said "I'm man enough my baby come see about me"
E C#m B
Did they take you to the carnival to get locked up on a ride?
E
Me I got caught up with the fortune tellers
C#m A
And the ladies with the sleepy eyes
A B
It took years my baby just to come clean
C#m A
Every streetlight a reminder
B C#m
And all those apologies
A B C#m
And the night was lonely next to me
A B E
Even the night was lonely next to me
E
Where'd you get them scars?

Come see about me ah-ah

Come see about me
E B
Come see about me
C#m A
Come see about me ah-ah
E B
Come see about me ah-ah
E
Whenever you're lonely
