Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Over that new paved highway, there is a house where love was made.

Not with screaming and touching, but with the records quietly spinning.

 And it was Aretha’s gold. And it was the way you told me to just shut up and

 try and enjoy myself.

 and dreams and dreams of you.

So if you can’t treat her like a woman then treat her like a baby doll.

Oh, and just leave her in that bedroom where he watched the summer

 tumble and fall.

(guitar technically isn’t playing, just drums and effects)

Over the gardens, through the schools, she waits alone by a swimming pool.

A storm is brewin’ in her soul. When did it start I like

to think… I know.

 Well it was the summer night, a (?sweet as night just died?) She turned the

corner and I knew all was about to change.

 And then I kissed your mouth. I felt your past somehow. Oh and your whole

 life flashed before my eyes.

So if you want to treat her like a woman then pick her up like a baby doll.

And rock her gently and tell her that you’re sorry and then be

willing to let her go.

 Because you you’re as tameless as an ocean. I want to love you but

commotion, oh it ravages me whole.

 Oh and me I’m as dramatic as the thunder. My lightning scares as she rolls

over. Oh yes she needs to get some sleep.

During solo

 Oh and you, you’ll be as famous as an ocean. They’ll try to name you but

commotion, oh, it’ll ravage them whole.

 But me I’m as dramatic as the thunder. My lightning scares as she rolls

over, oh yes she needs to get some sleep.
