10cc - Shock On The Tube chords
Start Jamming...
[Ab] I was traveling home on the subway
When this vision got [Dbm] on that made a [Abm] veil
And as I casually eyed [Ebm] the classifieds
She [Eb] sat [Db] down [Ab] next to me
Every head in the carriage was wondering
I replied [B] with a smile on [Dbm] my face
And [Ab] as I slipped into the arms [Ebm] of Martha's
To [Db] daydream the rest [Ab] of the way
She [Ebm] was [Fm] a smooth [C] operator, [Gb] you could [Ebm] see it in her dress
I said I'd like to see you [Ab] later, [Gb] but I didn't [Ebm] want to [Ab] press
[Gb] I was [Fm] holding [Ebm] like a [Ab] scanner, [C] did a mental fit [Ab] these
[Ebm] Thought you knew that she was [Ab] special [Gb] and you [Fm] came on [Ebm] like a tease
[E] Don't want love, just [Dbm] want to go [Abm] and be with you
Don't [E] want love, [Dbm] [Abm] don't [E] want love
[Dbm] Don't want love, [Abm] don't [Dbm] want [Ebm] love
[Abm] She [Eb]
[Ab] was [Ebm] a headstrong [Ab] woman [Gb] with a [Fm] demon in her [C] blood
[Ab] Threw [Ebm] the [Ab] window in her eyes, I [Ebm] saw a [Fm] fire in [Ebm] her [Ab] soul
[Ebm] And I knew [Fm] if I [Ebm] pursued [Ab] it, [C] my fingers would be burned
Like a moth around a [Ab] candle, [Ebm] I was [Fm] [Ebm] momentarily stunned
Don't [E] want love, just want [Abm] to go and be with you
Don't [E] want love, [B]
[Abm] don't [E] want love
[B] Don't want love, [Abm] [Dbm] don't want [Ebm] [A] love
I [Gbm] barely scared me while I was on the floor
She [F] was whirling like a derby, I was whirling like a boom
[Am] My reactions dimmed like an [Gb] alcoholic haze
[F] I could hear people clapping, [Am] I was [E] stumbling in a daze
I was stumbling in a [G] daze
[A] [E]
[G] [E]
[G] [A] [E]
[G] [A] [E]
I [Abm] tried to focus, I [G] was suddenly awake
She [B] was newborn, naked, [F] I was all together bare
[E] There were shouts all around us, [B] there was cries on the floor
[Dbm] As I cried to find my senses, [Ebm] I was smiling down the door
[Abm]
[Ab] [C] I was drowning, cold black [Ab] towels, I [Gb] was [Fm] slipping [C] away
Then I felt the water [Ab] hit me, [Ebm] and I [Fm] heard [Ebm] somebody [Ab] say
[Gb] Better get [Fm] yourself [Ebm] [Ab] together, this [Ebm] is the end of the line
When I look for my [Ab] woman, [Gb] I've been [Fm] dreaming all [Ebm] the time
Don't [E] want love, just want to [B] go and [Abm] be with you
[E] Don't want love, [Dbm] [B]
[Abm] don't want [E] love
Don't [B] want [Abm] love, [Dbm] don't want love
[Ebm] [Abm] [Ab]
