Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Life  in the city's  expensive today
 I know  cuz that's where  my girl went  when my girl  went away
 She calls  me up now just  to calm me down,  to calm  me  down
 But it's only sound,  oh
Boys  will come visit  there's no  room for doubt
 I try  to stay calm  but sometimes  I just can't  help but shout
 She runs  me down and then  she runs to him  she says,  Aw Tim
 She says Aw Tim
 / / /  / / /]
How  can they see more than me  in her eyes
 I realize  that she's the prize  and I'm the fool
How  can they think I would sink  out of sight
 Like a bright  summer moon,
 Bright summer moon
 / / /  / / /  / / /]
 Then the cool little riff:
A---1-3-1-3---------------|
E-----------3-2~~~~-------|
Curves  in the road  make the driving  go slow
 When curves  are like hers  things go quickly  and I  oughta know
 She turns  me on and then  she turns me down,  I feel  the clown
 But it's only sound
How  can they see more than me  in her eyes
 I realize  that she's the ride  and I'm the fool
How  can they think I would sink  out of sight
 Like a bright  summer moon,
 Bright summer moon
