Riff 1
A mother said, "Beware of boys in bands
And certainly don't let them write you songs
Riff 1
For they will come to you on bended knee and kiss your pretty hands
When the singing's done, and the suns up they'll be gone."
Em D G C
While her mother has a point, I might resent the implication.
Em D C G
That every boy who plays guitar plays women like Gene Simmons.
Riff 1
4600 photographs, stuck into a scrapbook beneath your bed.
Riff 1
4599 broken hearts, and one more you can't get out of your head.
Em D G C
And though you swear you can remember every pair of lips you've kissed
Em D C G
Deep down you're scared there's 1 or 2 you might've missed.

Oh, Oh Chaim Witz,
Em1 C1 D1 G1
where fore art though?
G1 D1 C1 G1
Does your mother
Em1 C1 D1 G1 D7/C
know who you are now?
Em D G C
Not that I can point a finger, I've been a sinner just the same
Em D C G
Fallen hard in love in motels and by sunrise lost their name.
Em D G C
And I have crept out into cold air in the smallest hours to leave
Em D C G
And in the pockets of my jacket I've kept my last fidelities
Gb1 A7
A navy coin and a broken plastic compass that someone gave me.
G#1 G
That can't find north anymore. Just like me.
G1 D1 C1 G1
Oh, Gene Simmons,
Em1 C1 D1 G1
wherefore art though?
G1 D1 C1 G1
I could sure use
Em1 C1 D1 G1 D7/C
a hand on my shoulder now.
Em D G C
when fidelity runs low that there's the moment when you choose
Em D C G
In the life of things you love, some you keep, some you lose.
