DA
Beauty today is only skin deep
GD
Temptation is strong and the job ain't cheap
DA
I've seen the spike up and down my arm
GD
Sailor's graves and tattooed snakes and broken hearts
Workin' like a charm
Chorus:
GAD
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
GAD
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return
D
Get yourself a tattoo
A
Don't think twice
GD
You show it off in the disco, at school around the corner,
ain't no lie
D
Goin' down the road
A
With a pistol in my hand
GD
Johnny Tattoo is lookin' for you
Chorus:
GAD
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
GAD
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return (main sky)
GAD
You never ever gonna regret you've got a tattoo (what you're gonna tell her)
GABm
You tell your baby: I did it for you
CD 3x
DD
Got it under my skin
A
For the rest of my life
GD
I don't mind, I show it off around the neighbourhood
Ain't no lie
D
I've seen the spike
A
Up and down my arm
GD
Sailor's graves and tattooed snakes & broken hearts
Workin' like a charm
Chorus:
GAD
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
GAD
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return (main sky)
GAD
Hey honey don't tell your mama keep her out of the blue (what you're gonna tell her)
GABm
You tell your ma: I did it for you
Chorus:
GAD
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn
GAD
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return
GAD
Your lover will discover some day, you've got a tattoo (what you're gonna tell her)
GABm
You just tell her: honey, I did it for you
