Could be someone put them up their nose 
    D                               A 
And some of us are wondering was it real or was it staged

A                                       C# 
Some big men they are sweating Claim it’s only heavy petting 
         D                      E 
and she probably enjoyed it anyway (enjoyed it anyway) 
D                                A
