Verse one

 What a Em7hot and sultry summer,

 The steam just Cadd9slides up off them streets

 You Ggot to stay inside and wait for the night,

 And then Dcome on over and see me

 There's a Em7poetry about these streets,

 It just sCadd9lips from your skin and goes right underneath

 And mGama always knew I'd meet a girl like you,

 But Dme, I never believed

Em7 D Cadd9

 CDuz I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy

 Cuz I've beenEm7 so lonely I Dcan't imagine that kind of Cadd9sympathy

 She said, "it's sEad enough to bBreak"

 Was it cC♯mold and strange like mine?

 She said, "I'm mEan enough my bBaby, come see about Eme"

Verse two

 I had a dEm7ream about you once, and I could Cadd9barely see your form

 And I mGet you between the wax and the needle,

 Your bEm7lack hair was like a raven with your Cadd9tan skin on the beach

 Your bGackdrop were the auroras and my siDdekick was all this grief

 I've beenEm7 so low down, I'm almDost level with the grCadd9ound
