Capo 2
Intro chords
G C G C - twice
She's [G]looking out on Broadway after [C]working over time
She's [G]all dressed up and pretty and she's [C]looking serpentine
She [G]says she only really wants to dance, But [C]we all know it's not the circumstance
Cause [G]dancing ain't got what she really [C]needs
She [G]shows her stuff in nightclubs on the [C]south side every week
And to [G]her it's a religion but t[C]o me it sounds like greek
She [G]likes 'em pretty and she likes 'em tall [C]and it just takes a little alcohol
Then she [G]chews 'em up and spits 'em out a quar[C]ter way
[Am]She's just blowing in the [C]wind
[Am]She's lighting [B/C]up her life and not [C]trying to pre[D]tend
Chorus:
But she's living [G]wild, she's living [D]free
She's too [Em]easy all the boys a[C]gree
And there's no [G]need to recon[D]cile
It's just some mor[Em]e wood to throw on th[C]e fire
She only [G]cares if it feels [D]right
Now she's going down a[Em]gain on a Saturday [C]night
Take my adv[G]ice, watch where you're going, [D]son
Cause she's the [Em]temptress of Washing[G]ton[C][G]
She wakes all hungover then tries to call her friends
She asks what was I doin', darling, where the hell I been
But it's all over, what's done is done, and I really thought I could-a been the one
Now try again about a man that tried to leave
Yeah guys just look her over, they're makin' jokes about her style
She wants to fall in love even if just only for a little while
But cheap drinks and charm seem to win her mind and John D's invitation to do the grind
Oh baby, oh baby, your world's overflowing tonight
But she's gotta be running along
It seems a shame that right for her just seems so wrong
Chorus
Bridge:
[D]If we'r[C]e champions of thi[G]s little universe
[D]Son has [C]sent me down, [G]tell me just what's worse
Wait a[Em]round for things to change, buckle [C]down and rearrange
It seems we'r[Am]e pawns when we're all kings in this h[D]ere game
Harmonica
Her home life is just a nuisance and her nightlife is just a sin
Maybe one day she'll walk the path of Mary Magdalene
Oh, come on baby, there's still a chance, cause it ain't that bad to only dance
Baby please stay uptown for just tonight
She's just trying to stay cool
I guess it feels good to be bad when you're breaking all the rules
Chorus
