IntroADE 2x
ADE
Like a mile wide tornado
ADE
Comin through the Midwest
ADE
She walked into my scene
ADE
And you know the rest
ADE
I heard she never got
ADE
Those letters that I sent
ADE
I got a few from her
ADE
Wonder how she been
BmD
She said babe I always kinda liked the way you talk
BmDE
How you give away the gold like it was any other rock
AEBmD
Maria how you come around and throw your bad advice at me
AEBmD
But you're up on a pedestal, sparks and electricity
AEBmD
Maria I could settle down and I need you desperately
AEBmD
But I can never get enough of these things that are killing me
Intro/Verse Chords 2x (ADE)
Well once upon an idea
I love the girls like you
The sleepless nights and blown out fights
They were funny too
Eventually the charm
That always would wear off
The price I paid always outweighed
Any other costs
Oh but babe I always kinda liked the way you talk
How you give away the gold like it was any other rock
Bridg
Bm
You know shes just a little girl
D
But shes not controlling me
Bm
The harder that you swim against it
DE
The further you end up out at sea
ChorusAEBmD
No I can never get enough of these things that are killing me. Hey!
