You hide under    the eiderdown

Amaj7               Fdim           C#m     Dmaj7

All you can't sweep underneath the car-  pet

I'll tell her   I'm more than some friendly fellow

I will say, "How ya doin?"

  Dmaj7    Amaj7       

So casually she never suspects

   A                     Fdim

I'm harboring thoughts of kissing her neck

  C#m7                  Dmaj7    

I think my mouth's been drinking,

Amaj7              Fdim

My basest thoughts do the thinking

D         C#m7  Bm7 Amaj7   Fdim

You've no shame     when Scarlet us your name

Trust in flames:    Scarlet is your name

Losing his looks for me -  Losing
