G D Am C

"show me how you do that trick...the one that makes me scream"

she said, "the one that makes me laugh", she said, and threw her arms around

my neck..

show me how you do it and i'll promise you a promise that

i'll run away with you--i'll run away with you...

spinning on that dizzy air, i kissed her face, i kissed her hair.

dreamed of all the different ways i had to make her glow.

"why are you so far away?" she said "why won't you ever know

that i'm in love with you. i am in love with you..

notes:

the solo and any lead for that matter have great amounts of sonic

noise. go freestyle on that. all i could write was the notes,

and i probably got some of those wrong, too.
