[Intro]
E7* (4 BARS)
[Verse 1]
E7*
She ran out of luck and started sweatin' bullets
She Atried to get a job but she couldn't do it
E7* B E7*
Now she's livin' in a suitcase out on the street
E7*
He said I love your family they sure are funny
You Aknow I hate to ask but can you loan me some money
E7* B E7*
Tryin' to get a grip, tryin' to get back on my feet
E7*
She's sleepin' in the kitchen on the hardwood floor
Said it Afixed her back, it don't hurt no more
E7* B E7*
She's lookin' real good, but she's havin' some trouble with her knees
[Chorus 1]
E7*
They're lookin' for some kinda satisfaction
F#Workin' off some kinda chain reaction
A B E7*
Tryin' to get a handle on whatever it is they need
E7*
Victims... of the situation
F#Can't rise above their own desperation
A B E7*
They keep on pushin' but they can't get it up to speed
[Verse 2]
E7*
He's standin' in the mirror combin' his hair
Gettin' Aall dressed up but he ain't goin' nowhere
E7* B E7*
You could cut him with a knife and I betcha he wouldn't even bleed
E7*
He said hey doc take a look at this
It don't Awork and I'm scared to death
E7* B E7*
He said I got somethin' for you but you only get the first one free
E7*
Never seen a woman that crazy 'bout a man
Like a dAevil and an angel hand and hand
E7* B E7*
She knows what he is, but that ain't the life he leads
[Chorus 2]
E7*
They're lookin' for some kinda satisfaction
F#Workin' off some kinda chain reaction
A B E7*
Tryin' to get a handle on whatever it is they need
E7*
Victims... of the situation
F#Can't rise above their own desperation
A B E7*
They keep on pushin' but they can't get it up to speed
[Outro]
E7* AND FADE
