What a [Em7]hot and sultry summer,
The steam just [Cadd9]slides up off them streets
You [G]got to stay inside and wait for the night,
And then [D]come on over and see me
There's a [Em7]poetry about these streets,
It just s[Cadd9]lips from your skin and goes right underneath
And m[G]ama always knew I'd meet a girl like you,
But [D]me, I never believed
             [Em7]          [D]                          [Cadd9]
C[D]uz I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy
Cuz I've been[Em7] so lonely I [D]can't imagine that kind of [Cadd9]sympathy

back into major:
Where'd you get them s[E]cars?
How blue is [C#m]your heart?
Is it [A]sad enough to break?
She said, "it's s[E]ad enough to b[B]reak"
How long was your[E] life?
Was it c[C#m]old and strange like mine?
Are you m[A]an enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm m[E]an enough my b[B]aby, come see about [E]me"

I had a d[Em7]ream about you once, and I could [Cadd9]barely see your form
And I m[G]et you between the wax and the needle,
In the w[D]ords of my favorite song
Your b[Em7]lack hair was like a raven with your [Cadd9]tan skin on the beach
Your b[G]ackdrop were the auroras and my si[D]dekick was all this grief
I've been[Em7] so low down, I'm alm[D]ost level with the gr[Cadd9]ound

Did they [E]take you to the carnival to get l[C#m]ocked up on a [B]ride?
[E]Me, I got caught up with the fortune tellers
And the la[C#m]dies with the sleepy [A]eyes
It took y[A]ears my baby ju[B]st to come clean,
Every st[C#m]reetlight a reminder[A]
And [B]all those ap[C#m]ologies
And the n[A]ight was l[B]onely next to[C#m] me
Even the [A]night was [B]lonely next to [E]me

Final chorus:
Where'd you get them s[E]cars?
How blue is [C#m]your heart?
Is it [A]sad enough to break?
She said, "it's s[E]ad enough to b[B]reak"
How long was your[E] life?
Was it c[C#m]old and strange like mine?
Are you m[A]an enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm m[E]an enough my b[B]aby, come see about [E]me    [C#m]

Come see ab[A]out me, ah-a[E]h    [B]
Come see [C#m]about me,  [A]
Come see a[E]bout me,[B]
Come see a[C#m]bout me, ah-[A]ah
Come see ab[E]out me, ah-[B]ah
Whenever you're l[E]onely
