Coda

Dsus2 E Dsus2 E

Dsus2 E

You've torn your dress Your face is a mess

Dsus2 E

You can't get enough that enough ain't the test

Dsus2 E

Transmission and your live wire

Dsus2 E

You got your Few lies and a handful of blues

Dsus2 E

You wanna Be there when they count out the dudes

Dsus2 E

And I love your dress

Dsus2 E

You're a juvenile success

Dsus2 E

Because your face is a mess

(Bass line repeat forever...)
