Tom: Dm
Dm C
She ran him over like a bus
Dm
But he seemed to feel no pain
C
Just laid there smiling
Dm
Like a flower in the rain
C
She shrunk his ego down so small
Dm
That he didn't even know his name
Dm C
She knew no other way to love
Dm
That's how she played the game
[Chorus]
Bb C
But when he got her in a darkened room
Bb C
In the still of the afternoon
Gm Am7
He became her entire world
Bb C Csus4
And she cried like a little girl
F C
The line between pleasure and pain
Gm
Can't be measured by means of the brain
F C
Mere reason alone can never explain
Dm
How the heart behaves
[Verse 2]
Dm C
She wrapped her claws around him
Dm
Like a crab around a rock
Dm C
It was baby this and baby that
Dm
She never let him talk
Dm C
He couldn't see his shadow
Dm
She was always in the light
Dm C
And if he moved she arched her back
Dm
And dug her claws in tight
[Chorus]
Bb C
But when he got her in a darkened room
Bb C
In the still of the afternoon
Gm Am7
He became her entire world
Bb C Csus4
And she cried like a little girl
F C
The line between pleasure and pain
Gm
Can't be measured by means of the brain
F C
Mere reason alone can never explain
Dm
How the heart behaves
[Verse 3]
Dm C
And they said that he'd break
Dm C Csus4
How much more could he take
Gm Am7
And just when you thought that he'd kill her
Bb C
She gave him a kiss, it never missed
Dm C
And then one day she ran away
Dm
With a guy she hardly knew
Dm C
She left a note that said
Dm
I'm bored with me and you
Bb C
He found another girl himself
Bb C
A high-heeled hurricane
Gm Am7
There was no calm inside her eyes
Bb C Csus4
Just a promise of more of the same
[Chorus]
Bb C
But when he got her in a darkened room
Bb C
In the still of the afternoon
Gm Am7
He became her entire world
Bb C Csus4
And she cried like a little girl
F C
The line between pleasure and pain
Gm
Can't be measured by means of the brain
F C
Mere reason alone can never explain
Dm
How the heart behaves
