Chords- Bm B5 C5 A5
Just something about you
The way I'm lookin at you whatever
You keep lookin at me
You gettin scared now, right?
Don't fear me baby, it's just destiny
It feel good right?
Listen
I kind of noticed, from one night
From the club, your front face
It's kind of weird to me
Since you're so fine
If it's up to me your face will change
If you smiling, that should set the tone
Just be limber
If you let go, the music should groove your bones
Just remember
Sing this song with me
Ain't nobody love you like I love you
You're a good girl and that's what makes me trust ya
Late at night, I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
People are so phony
Nosy coz they're lonely
Aren't you sick of the same thing?
They say so and so was dating
Love you or they're hatin
When it doesn't matter anyway
Coz we're here tonight
If you smiling, that should set the tone
Just be limber baby
If you let go, the music should groove your bones
Baby just remember
Sing this song with me
Ain't nobody love you like I love you
You're a good girl and that's what makes me trust ya
Late at night, I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
Yeah, you know I can make ya happy
I could change your life
If you give me that chance
To be your man
I won't let you down baby
If you give me that chance
To be your man
Here baby, put on my jacket
And then ...
Maybe we'll fly tonight (I just wanna love you baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe we'll fly tonight (I just wanna love you baby)
Girl ...
RAP
Ma, what chu wanna do?
I'm in front of you
Grab a friend, see I can have fun with two
Or me and you put on a stage show
And the mall kids, that's how to change low
From them you heard wow, it's the same glow
Look at me, I say yeah, it's the same dough
We the same type, you my air of life
You have sleepin in the same bed, er'night
Go rock with me, you deserve the best
Take a few shots
Let it burn in your chest
We could ride down
Pumpin N.E.R.D. in the deck
Funny how a few words turn into sex
Play this free, joint called brain
Ma, take a hint
Make me suerve in the lane
The name Malicious
And I burn every track
Clipse and J. Timberlake
Now how heavy is that?
Maybe we'll fly tonight (I just wanna love you baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe we'll fly tonight (I just wanna love you baby)
Girl ...
Ain't nobody love you like I love you
You're a good girl and that's what makes me trust ya
Late at night, I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
Break this down
You know, I used to dream about this when I was a
little boy
I never thought it would end up this way, (drums)
It's kind of special right? yeah
You know, you think about it
Sometimes people just destined
Destined to do what they do
And that's what it is
Now everybody dance

[Alternate B/w G and D chords]
In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the hotel Flamingo wearing black market shoes
Am [Alternate B/w G&D]
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
Am
No one wants to be lonely
Am [Alternate B/w G and D]
No one wants to sing the blues
She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder
Christ, whatcha doing with him
When you could be dancing with me
She stirs the ice with her elegant finger
I want to be what she's drinking
Yeah, I just want to be
CHORUS-
C G
I saw you first
D G
I'm the first one tonight
C G
I saw you first
D G
Don't that give me the right
C G
To move around in your heart
D
Everyone was looking
But I saw you first
[Alternate between G & D]
On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo
Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car
She flies like a bird over her shoulder
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star
CHORUS
In the bone colored dawn
Me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'
The radio is playing
She left her shoes out in the back
He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky
He just made that story up; there ain't no girl like that
CHORUS and fade

When seeing your ID on mine
Made me crazy
Ooh baby I'm saying
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
I'm talking bout
Back in time
When you wanted to know my every move
Tired to keep it smooth
Keepin' up with me
You drove me crazy ohh baby
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
Want to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go

That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love
Let's go back in time
When our kiss was brand new
An adventure not perfected
A little hesitant
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
Take it back in time
When forever was a minute, and eternity was a second
I'm stressing that we have to go back there
Let's take it there.
When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
Want to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if

We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go

Just to clear my head

I saw a flashing neon up ahead

To find some satisfaction

With a little less talk
And a lot more action

I paid the man at the door

And pushed my way to the bar

Shouted for a drink

Over a screaming guitar

A drunk on a stool

Tried to mess with my head

But I didn't even listen

To a word he said

I knew somewhere

Amid all this distraction

Was a little less talk
And a lot more action

A little less talk

If you please

A lot more loving

Is what I need

Let's get on down

To the main attraction

With a little less talk
And a lot more action
A
Well she was fighting them off
A
At a corner table
A
She had a longneck bottle
A
She was peeling the label
D
The look on her face
D
It was perfectly clear
A
She said somebody please
A
Get me out of here
E
The look she shot me
E
Through the glass refraction
A [first note...]
Said a little less talk
And a lot more action

the fingering may look strange, but its a smooth transition going from the G/E > F#/E >
since all you're doing is just sliding down the fretboard. In addition to the chords,
is a dissonent melody that is played during the intro and the chorus. Again on the
recording a keyboard is used, but it sounds pretty cool on an electic guitar with heavy distortion-

You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
E B G#m F#
And, with a word all my love came rushing out
E B G#m F#
And, every whisper, it's the worst, emptied out by a single word
E B G#m F#
There is a hollow in me now

So I put my faith in something unknown
G#m F#
I'm living on such sweet nothing

But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold

I'm living on such sweet nothing

And it's hard to learn

Em C
Taking me higher than I've ever been before
D Am
I'm holding it back, just want to shout out, give me more
Em C
You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
D Am
You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning
Em C
Not even I can't find a way to stop the storm
D Am
Oh baby, it's out of my control, it's going home
Em C
But you're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
D Am
You're just another day that keeps me breathing
Em C
Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
D Am
Baby, don't stop me, hideaway with me some more
[Here is where the bass comes in. It works well with the same Em-C-D-Am
progression, or you can try Em for 4 counts, C for 2, and D for 2. The
C and D are syncopated like the bass line. I don't know. Either works.
Stick with one all the way through the ooh aahs.]
Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh
[Now back to the verse Em-C-D-Am progression.]
You send me the shiver and the spine that might overflow
You're bringing me closer to the edge, I'm letting go
You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning
Putting my head into the clouds I'm floating home
When you can be going I can't find a way to stop
You're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
You're just another day that keeps me breathing
Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh
Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
Baby, don't stop me, hideaway with me some more
Hideaway with me some more
Bringing me higher than I've ever been before
I'm holding it back, just want to shout it, give me more
You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning
Not even I can find a way to stop the storm
Oh baby, it's out of my control what's going on
You're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
You're just another day, that keeps me breathing
You're a day that keeps me dreaming
Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh
Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
Baby, don't stop me, hide away with me some more
Hideaway with me some more

And his full head of hair
Found my black queen Cleopatra

Our war is over, our queen has met her doom
No more she lives, no more serpent in her room
No more, it has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra

Verse 1
D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
C G
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
D C
And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town
G
No postcode envy
Chorus
D
But every song's like- gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair
D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy
Verse 2
D
My friends and I we've cracked the code
C G
We count our dollars on the train to the party
D C
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
G
We didn't come from money
Chorus
D
But every song's like- gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us

Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy
D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
G
And I'm in love with being queen (king)
D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
Life's a game without a care
G
We aren't caught up in your love affair
D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee

Every time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care

Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow

Suspicion, keeps us apart,

Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer,
Em D
Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind,
D Em
How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger,
Em D
Maybe I'm suspicious cause true love is so hard to find.

You and I can both get jobs

So I quit school and that's what I did.
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car.

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;

You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Cmaj7 G
We'll move out of the shelter
Em D
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car.

But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Cmaj7 G
We gotta make a decision-
Em D
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
Cmaj7 G Em D X4
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 C G
So I remember when- we were driving, driving in your car,

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney that I put on top, and it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby, and tell me who do you love?
[chorus 1]
Who do you love?
[verse 2]
Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip, take it easy baby don't you give me no lip
[chorus 2]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[verse 3]
I've got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind, I'm just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
[chorus 3]
Who do you love?
Yeah, who do you love?
Ah, who do you love?
[solo]
[verse 4]
Now Arlene took a-me by my hand, she said lonesome George you know I understand
[chorus 4]
Who do you love?
[verse 5]
The night were dark and the sky were blue, down the alleyway a ice-wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed, you should've heard what I'd seen
[chorus 5]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Yeah who do you love?
Ah, who do you love?
[solo]
[verse 6]
Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine
Just twenty-two baby I don't mind dying
Snake skin shoes baby put them on your feet
Got the good time music and the Bo Diddley beat
[chorus 6]
Yeah, who do you love?
Ooh, who do you love?
[verse 7]
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house out on the road side, and it's made out of rattle snake hide
Got a band new chimney that's been put on top, and it's made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me child, tell me who do you love?
[chorus 7]
Yeah, who do you love?
Whoo, Who do you love?
[solo]
[chorus 8]
Who do you
