Written by Per Gessle
[11/2/1995]
Intro:
I once new a girl I can't remember her name
But I remember her face cos her sister looked the same.
They both left school, but they couldn't find a job
So they said farewell and stole a small town car.
[C]As they were [A#m]riding by the [G]beach some summer night
the [C]radio [A#m]shouted out on[G]e of those songs that might just change your [F]life
It went like this:
&[D]quot;Chec[G]kin' in chec[A]kin' out
[D]Making [G]love I like w[A]atching all your[D] fireworks[Bm]
I like it [G]when I light those [A]stars in your [E]eyes
Just like [G]firework[C]s in the [D]sky"
Yes it did.
Throwing some poems to the ports and docks
They were sleeping outdoors puching [D]all their [C]luck[G]
They sent me a letter full of pills and thrills
Then they both got rich and moved to [D]Hollywoo[C]d Hills.
[C]Yea they made [A#m]lots of money [G]playing folk guitar
[C]Cos every[A#m]where the boys went [G]crazy just to hear these words of [F]art:
(CHORUS) as before,
& harmonica solo: just play D A D A throughout
&[E]quot;Chec[A]kin' in chec[B]kin' out (take it to the sky)
[E]Making [A]love I like w[B]atching all your[E] fireworks[C#m]
I like it [A]when I light those [B]stars in your [F#]eyes
Just like [A]firework[D]s in the [E]sky"
They're coming to get you
They're coming to get you now (right now)
Coming to get you now
Watch the sky!
