Chorus

Cherry takes me to the place above
A*
With barbed wire kisses and her love

In the light of all my darkest moments
Things fall into place
And all the soft dark coloured awnings

Chorus

Cherry's scratching like a grain of sand
The trigger itch in the killer's hand
Me and Cherry are so extreme
Making love to the sound of a scream
Oh Cherry honey you got me stuck on a rope
You got me running around
With the fear in my head for you
And I want you
And I'll give you my head
And all the things it said
And I'd give you my thoughts
If those things weren't lost

Solo

A D E (repeat 4 times)
(same chord pattern as previous part)
I'm gonna give you my head
You could kick it dead
And I'll give you my head
Come on and kick me dead
Come on and push me down
Come on and drag me down
Oh and Cherry be bad
Come on and kiss my head
