A F#m
Your hair hangs in golden steps
A F#m
You're a bonafide in every respect
A F#m
You are walking through streets that mean nothing to you
A F#m
You believe you're above it and I don't really blame you
A F#m
Maybe that's why you speak like a child;
A F#m
The things you're saying like "I'm so free and so wild"
Bm F#m
And I believe it when you look in my eyes;
Bm F#m
You offer me a life that never lies
F E
Least only the kind to make me smile
A F#m
Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive
A F#m
It shops in store where only the best buy
A F#m
You're cool and hard, and if I sound like a lecher
A F#m
It's probably true, but at least there's no lecture
