Verse 1:
              Cm                                                   G7
She’s got the eyes of a snake, loaded dice, raising stakes from a cash cow
(nc)        G7
I’ll be her burn victim, hypothermic, so damn hot
          Cm                            G7
Come to smiling like I blacked out in Glasgow
  Cm                                                G7                Ab
I woke up in the name that I wore last night to the sound of an empty bed
         Eb                                 G7
And it’s ringing in my ears just like sweet nothings from the voices in my head!

Chorus:
Cm                                    Fm
Where do you get off being so xxxxxxx beautiful?
   G7                        Cm        G7
Oh lord! Don’t ask me what I mean
Cm                                    Fm
Where do you get off being so xxxxxxx beautiful?

Oh lord!

Verse 2:
              Cm                                          G7
She’s got the touch of an anesthesiologist – please put me under
(nc)      G7
Because I tremble with the notion that there’s something unsaid
            Cm                         G7
But numb my head I’ll mumble reticently I wonder how
  Cm                                        G7                    Ab
I woke up in the middle of my surgery and I watched them botch my heart
         Eb
Only the second worst thing that I could have thought is that
     G7
This won’t have to end if it doesn’t start!

Chorus:
Cm                                    Fm

Oh lord! Don’t ask me what I mean
Cm                                    Fm
Where do you get off being so xxxxxxx beautiful?
   G7                        Cm        G7
Oh lord!

I’ll never know, I’ll never know, I’ll never know, I’ll never know what it’s like
G7                Cm                G7
