Intro  A D E 2x 
        A 	      D    E 
Like a mile wide tornado 
A		     D	    E 
Comin through the Midwest  
    A		      D    E 
She walked into my scene 
         A	        D E 
And you know the rest 
A	         D        E 
  I heard she never got  
       A	       D    E 
Those letters that I sent 
   A		    D   E 
I got a few from her  
        A	     D   E 
Wonder how she been 
 
  
Bm				D 
She said babe I always kinda liked the way you talk 
Bm					D	  E 
How you give away the gold like it was any other rock 
 
  
A		E			 Bm	       D 
Maria how you come around and throw your bad advice at me 
A	      E		    Bm		   D 
But you're up on a pedestal, sparks and electricity 
A		E		Bm		     D 
Maria I could settle down and I need you desperately 
A	    E		  Bm			    D 
But I can never get enough of these things that are k*lling me 
 
Intro/Verse Chords 2x (A  D  E) 
 
 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 
    D			      E 
The further you end up out at sea 
 
 Chorus  
A	   E		Bm			   D 
No I can never get enough of these things that are k*lling me. Hey!
