Verse 1

Pretty women out walking with gor - illas,

Down my street,

From my window I'm staring,

While my coffee goes cold,

Look over there! (Where?) There!

There's a lady that I used to know,

She's married now, or en - gaged or something,

So I'm told

Chorus

Is she really going out with him?

^ ^ ^

Is she really gonna take him home to - night?

^ ^ ^

Is she really going out with him?

D N.C.

'Cause, if my eyes don't deceive me,

E N.C. A E G D

There's something going wrong around here

Verse 2

Tonight's the night,

When I go to all the parties down my street,

I wash my hair,

And I kid myself I look real smooth,

Look over there! (Where?) There!

Here comes Jeannie with her new boy - friend,

They say that looks don't count for much,

If so, there goes your proof

Chorus

Is she really going out with him?

^ ^ ^

Is she really gonna take him home to - night?

Is she really going out with him?

E N.C. A E G D

There's something going wrong around here,

Around here

Bridge

But, if looks could kill,

There's a man there who's marked down as dead,

'Cause I've had my fill,

"Listen you! Take your hands from her head!"

I get so mean around that scene,

Hey, hey, hey!

/ = Slide note up h = hammer-on note

For all the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my

suggested choices you need to manually select the

following choice of options by clicking on the

forward/backward arrows beneath four of the diagrams.

C#m7 Bm7/E G E/F#

<3 of 37> <5 of 22> <2 of 27> <4 of 12>

All the other chord boxes should be the default

first option and don't need any reselecting. As long

as you log into your account, these choices will be

saved automatically for every time you view this tab.
