verse 1: 
F                  Eb6                      F                       Eb6   
You see her sitting with her coffee and her paper 
F                  Eb6                    F                  F13/A   
With her high top sneakers of Italian design 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb                   Ab6    
With a long cool stare she aggravates the tension 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb                     C       
Makes up her face while she makes up her mind 
F                  Eb6                      F                       Eb6   
Now you're in trouble, maybe she's an intellectual 
F                  Eb6                    F                  F13/A   
What if she figures out you're not very smart 
      Bb                        Ab6                     Bb              Ab6    
Or maybe she's the quiet type who's into heavy metal 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb     
Boy, you got to get it settled, cause she's breaking your heart
