There's A girl on the floor, she dances way out
Dm                                Bb F
She's a snub nose beauty, she's a no doubt
Bb                           Eb   Bb
But if I talk to her, I even Look hard

She'll be out of this place and she'll be out of my life.

Play the tune where the girl sings high
               Eb
She's my lover surrogate
                    Ab
And the waitress is rolling by, shining high

There's a girl who can't stand up till she falls down
Bb                                          Eb  Bb
There's a pressure that's building and it's too late
F                              C
Cos she leaves in the morning, there's a flight
              Dm
It's a family affair

So we met a month later, she had long hair

She was driving the bus I paid the full fare

It was easy to talk and she drove real fast
F                                C
And she told me the story of her dirty old past

F                                      Bb  F
All the boys she had loved and all the bad sex

All the things she must learn and all her prospects
Bb                                   Eb  Bb
I was there for the ride and for the old soul
F                           C
BUt we couldn't go further, no we couldn't go
F                           C
But we couldn't go further, no we couldn't go
F                          C                         F
But we couldn't go further cos the story was already told.
