Intro: D D Cadd9 G | D D Cadd9 G
Verse 1:
D Cadd9 G
I choose my friends only far too well
D Cadd9 G
And I'm up on the pavement, they're all down in the cellar
D Cadd9 G
With their government grants and my I.Q.
D Cadd9 G G | D D Cadd9 G | D D C G
They brought me down to size, Academia Blues
Verse 2:
D Cadd9 G
Louise is a girl, I know her well
D Cadd9 G
She's up on the pavement, yes, she's a weather girl
D Cadd9 G
And I'm staying up here, so I may be undone
D Cadd9 G
She's inappropriate, but then she's much more fun and
Chorus:
Fmaj7 C
When she smiles my way
Fmaj7 G G
My eyes go out in vain
C G G G G
She's got perfect skin
Verse 3:
D Cadd9 G D
Shame on you, you've got no sense of grace, shame on me

Ah, just in case, I might come to a conclusion

Other than that which is absolutely necessary
Cadd9 G D D | D D Cadd9 G | D D C G | D D Cadd9 G | D D C G
And that's perfect skin

D Cadd9 G
Louise is the girl with the perfect skin
D Cadd9 G
She says turn on the light, otherwise it can't be seen
D Cadd9 G
She's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin
D Cadd9 G
And she's sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan and
Chorus:
Fmaj7 C
When she smiles my way
Fmaj7 G G
My eyes go out in vain
C G
For her perfect skin
C D D D Cadd9 G | D D Cadd9 G
Yeah, that's perfect skin

Verse 5:
D Cadd9 G
She takes me down to the basement to look at her slides
D Cadd9 G
Of her family life, pretty weird at times
D Cadd9 G
At the age of ten she looked like Greta Garbo
D Cadd9 G
And I loved her then, but how was she to know that
Chorus:
Fmaj7 C
When she smiles my way
Fmaj7 G G
My eyes go out in vain
C G G G G
She's got perfect skin
Verse 6:
D Cadd9 G
Up eight flights of stairs to her basement flat
D Cadd9 G
Pretty confused huh, being shipped around like that
D Cadd9 G
Seems we climbed so high, now we're down so low
D Cadd9 G D
Strikes me the moral of this song must be there never has been one!
