Tom: Em
Em
I'm a wild child, bright child, knocking at your door
C
You thought that you were done but now you want me even more
G
Dum dum
G
You want me even more
C
Dum dum
Em
I'm a star child, big smile, living in L.A
C
I'm coming over, baby, you can't go to school today
G
Dum dum
G
Go to school today
C
Dum dum
Em
I belong to a bygone era
C
Like the Scarlett O'Hara of the downtown scene
G D
Cause I just wanna dream, I just wanna drink
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I'm a pop-blues singer, fam-bam zinger
C G D
Mansfield ringer from the Hollywood silver screen, silver screen
[Chorus]
Em C
Once you've had something, something so beautiful
G D
You'll never be the same
Em C
Once you've had a taste of heaven my way
G D
You'll be forever changed
[Verse]
Em
I'm a wild child, sky high, lying on your floor
C
I know I had a lot, but baby, what's a little more?
G
Dum dum
G
Want a little more
C
Dum dum
Em
In my white mink, pink cigarettes from the store
C
We're making robberies from Tijuana to the shore
G
Dum dum
G
'Juana to the shore
C
Dum dum
Em
I belong to a bygone era
C
Like the Bugsy Malone of the deep Sahara
G D
Cause I'm on the scene, yeah, I'm on the scene
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I'm a bad jazz singer, giving you the finger
C
No matter what, you'll linger
C G D
Cause you like me even when I'm mean, I'm the queen
[Chorus]
Em C
Once you've had something, something so beautiful
G D
You'll never be the same
Em C
Once you've had a taste of heaven my way
G D
You'll be forever changed
