working in your coal mine , working on your chain gang

under the boardwalk , over the moon
some cats are born with a silver spoon
youre like a ghost , i hope that you haunt me

chorus :

E5

A5 B5 E5
is there any other love?

bridge :

A5
out of the frying pan into the fire
E5 B5
we cant go designing the things we desire
A5
a fish out of water im battered and bruised
E5 B5
hook me up , baby , its good to be used

im outta shape , oh so it goes
but i bet that i could still touch your toes
ill cop a feel if were copacetic
while you wax your legs , ill wax poetic

prechorus 2 x1 , then chorus x4 .
