Intro: Em 

verse 1 
                              A 
Stood on the street the other night 
        G   D       Em 
In full moonlight 

Barefoot and, oh, dirtied 
   D                      Em 
My dress was going away 


verse 2 
                              A 
There I was meeting up with a man 
        G  D      Em 
For the payoff 

Faithful and unexpected 
      D                       
I somewhat recollect 

 
Am       D 
Soon she heard me 
Am        D 
Siren she wailed 
Am                      D      G 
Queen spelling bee, she nailed me 
    Em 
By name 
           D                Em 
It's not alright with me 



verse 3 
                           A 
What am I doing out on the street? 
     G       D      Em 
I'm ashamed, dear 

Good boy, he beats it 
  D                      Em 
I tear myself downtown 


verse 4 
                         A 
God has let me release a sting 
      G   D      Em 
In my own eye 

Walk home to just nightmares 
   D                      Em 
No angels on the phone 

 
Am       D 
Soon she heard me 
Am        D 
Siren she wailed 
Am                      D      G 
Queen spelling bee, she nailed me 
    Em 
By name 
           D                Em 
It's not alright with me
