The chords may not line up with the lyrics as best as they could, but they are
accurate. Great new band. I actually have the same guitar teacher as the Kingsfoil
guitarist. Great song, enjoy.

I see you from across the room
Out of the darkness like a perfect bloom
I tell myself to leave this place
But then you start to walk, my heart starts to race
You got those kind of legs that bring me to my knees
But you’re behind barbed wire flashing keys and white teeth, I really want

you now
But you’re already full, to full of yourself.. To full of your..

Hip hip hip hip hip, you’re a hypocrite baby
Sip sip sip sip sip, while you’re telling me to take it easy

I, I, I don’t know what your mother taught you girl, what your mother taught
you may have failed
I, I, I don?t know what your mother taught you girl, what your mother taught
you may have failed
I ain’t a trust fund baby but trust me I’m fun lately
I’ve been drinking too much or maybe just enough not to get lazy, yeah you
listen well
But only when I talk, I talk of yourself
I like the sound your voice takes
But apparently so do you so I have a choice to make…
You say let?s have another now
But I’ve had enough, I’m getting out

Hip hip hip hip hip, you’re a hypocrite baby
Sip sip sip sip sip, while you’re telling me to take it easy
I, I, I don’t know what your mother taught you girl, what your mother taught
you may have failed
I, I, I don’t know what your mother taught you girl, what your mother taught
you may have failed

Girl don’t lose yourself within yourself, baby
Girl don’t lose yourself within yourself…
Another power chord part

STILL I REALLY WANT YOU NOW!
Girl I really want you now
Still I really want you now
Girl I really want you now
I, I, I don’t know what your mother taught you girl, what your mother taught
you may have failed
I, I, I don’t know what your mother taught you girl, what your mother taught
you may have failed

Intro: Am F C x2

Verse:

Friday night getting done up
You say you wanna look just like a china doll
I answer that you do from the hall
My patience was waning, half moon, now I’m lit up waxing poetic
In the bathroom
I say that apart from lust
The secret to love is secrets plus trust

Pre-chorus:

She says I got a smart tongue
I said in more ways than one
You’re rolling your eyes but you wondering
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Chorus:

Come on give me something that I can believe in
Got those bedroom eyes in the living room
And we’re pulling all the blinds in the afternoon
All I wanted was to be somebody someone could believe in
But I’m a grapevine valentine
I’m the catch in your throat when you wanna cry
When all I really wanna do is catch you smile
Smile, yeah

Verse:

This girl’s got those smoky eyes on a clear night
Lipstick on just right
We could take a drive feel alive in the dying light
My patience was feigning who knew indifference would get me

Where I wanted to go
I could give you such a rush
The secret to love is blush blush blush

Pre-chorus:

There’s no room for rumors
I’ll silence them, yeah you can be sure
You should believe all the things you heard
Cause now I got you at a loss for (words)

Chorus:

Come on give me something that I can believe in
Got those bedroom eyes in the living room
And we’re pulling all the blinds in the afternoon
All I wanted was to be somebody someone could believe in
But I’m a grapevine valentine
I’m the catch in your throat when you wanna cry
When all I really wanna do is catch you smile
Smile, yeah

Bridge:

Out across the lawn
Bare foot on the warm asphalt
In the road we stop
The only ones, the only ones
Out across the lawn
Bare foot on the warm asphalt
In the road we touch
Tar to heels lips to lock

Chorus:

Come on give me something that I can believe in
Got those bedroom eyes in the living room
And we’re pulling all the blinds in the afternoon
All I wanted was to be somebody someone could believe in
But I’m a grapevine valentine
I’m the catch in your throat when you wanna cry
When all I really wanna do is catch you smile
Smile, smile, yeah, smile
