_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ She's a _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
moving violation [Cm] _ [Am] from a countdown to a shoot. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [C] She [Am] says, how you [F#] gonna like them?
_ [Am] Over medium or [F] scramble?
_ [E] _ Anyway's the only way.
Be careful not to [Fm] gamble on a guy [A] with a suitcase.
_ And a ticket getting [Am] out of here.
[E] A tired bus [A] station. _
[Em] Old pair [F] of shoes.
It's nothing but [E] an invitation [Am] _ _ [D#] to the _ blues.
_ [C] _ _ _ You can [Am] take your eyes off her.
_ [F] Get another cup of [C] chava.
It's just the way she pours it for you.
Joking with the customers.
[Dm] _ _ [A] Mercy, mercy.
_ [G] A [G] Mr.
Percy.
[F] _ [C] There's nothing back in Jersey but a broken [E] down jalopy.
And a [Am] dream I was chasing. _
A battle [D] with the boo.
[A] An open [F#] _
invitation.
_ [A] _ _ [N] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D#] _ _ _ [E] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ She [C#m] used to [D] have a sugar daddy.
_ [G] And a candy apple [C#] caddy.
[C] A bank account [D#] and everything.
[Am] _
Accustomed to the finer [F#] things.
[Dm] He probably [A#] left her for a socialite [G] who never [Am] loved her [E] except at night.
And then he's [C] drunk and he [D#] never even [C] told her that [D] he cared.
_ [Am] So they took the registration.
_ [E] Her car keys and her shoes.
[F] _ Left [Em] her with an invitation.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ There's [Dm] a continental trail [G] where he's leaving.
_ Local bus tonight, [Fm] good evening.
You can [E] have my seat.
I'm sticking around [F] here for a [F#] while.
Give [Dm] me a room at the [F] square.
While the filling stations [C#] hurry.
_ [E] I can eat here every night.
What [Fm] the hell have I [G#] got to [Am] lose?
Got a [A] crazy _ sensation.
[G#] _
_ [E] Go [F] or stay, [E] I've got to choose.
_ _ _ [F] _ [D#] I accept [C] your _ _ [Bm] invitation _ to _ [A] the [E] boo. _ _
