Standard (EADGBE)
(Intro) 2x
Like a mile wide tornado
Comin through the Midwest
She walked into my scene
And you know the rest
I heard she never got
Those letters that I sent
I got a few from her
Wonder how she been
(Pre-cho)
She said babe I always kinda liked the way you talk
How you give away the gold like it was any other rock
(Chorus)
Maria how you come around and throw your bad advice at me
But you're up on a pedestal, sparks and electricity
Maria I could settle down and I need you desperately
But I can never get enough of these things that are killing me
Intro/Verse Chords 2x ( )
(Verse 2)
Well once upon an idea
I love the girls like you
The sleepless nights and blown out fights
They were funny too
Eventually the charm
That always would wear off
The price I paid always outweighed
Any other costs
(Pre-cho)
Oh but babe I always kinda liked the way you talk
How you give away the gold like it was any other rock
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You know shes just a little girl
But shes not controlling me
The harder that you swim against it
The further you end up out at sea
(Chorus)
No I can never get enough of these things that are killing me. Hey!
(Outro)
