B-side to the single "You Don't Know How it Feels" chords figured out by Mark Matthews ([email protected]) (I think they're right, anyway) On the album it's played on a clean electric, but this is a great song to play with an acoustic and a six-pack (or whatever drug you and your girl's on) with a bunch of friends on the back porch. But what Petty song isn't, right? Note: When you're strumming the D chord do the following slide every now and then before each verse: xxx23x ----- xxx77X ----- xxx23x (it's hard to explain in writing, but if you hear the song you'll know what bit I'm talking about) D G A D I's in love with a girl on marijuana D G D A (she) said if I'm not stoned I don't wanna G D but she got so paranoid A G her place I would avoid G A D I's in love with a girl on marijuana [same for all verses] I's in love with a girl on cocaine she had everything going but her brain we'd talk endlessly for hours but by morning it'd go sour I's in love with a girl on cocaine (chorus:) G D Through extacy, crystal meth. and glue A D I found no drug compares to you G all these pills D and all this weed A I don't know just what I need I's in love with a girl on l.s.d. she'd see things I'd never see she broadened her perspective then I got more selective I's in love with a girl on l.s.d. (repeat chorus) I's in love with a girl who drank beer till bad breath and all she disappeared she was blowing up real bad but when she left I was still sad I's in love with a girl who drank beer I's in love with a girl on china white we were married for a year one night her memory still lingers cause I burned all my fingers I's in love with a girl on china white I's in love with a girl who drank coffee there was times when I couldn't keep her off me that caffine got her going but her ugly side was showing I's in love with a girl who drank coffee I's in love with a girl who was a dealer I's afraid somebody'd come and steal her we never used to fight but the phone rang day and night I's in love with a girl who was a dealer sure as hell she got popped by the big guys
