She's got to be American; she's not from here
We're all living in a world of poetry
G
Eating polyester and committing adultery
It's ever so simple it really, really is
G
Behaving like the boss of a whole new religion
Said please! I thought you got savvy
G
But you're looking like a lemon and talking like a navvy
You can see the hills - you just can't go there
I don't know what I'll say or do
Hey Charlie
She's got her hair in her eyes and her eyes are in a mess
Now won't you take my hand so I can help you across the street?
Whooo! Talk about bloodsports!
G
Even the spectators get killed!

She's On Drugs (P.Fish)
{intro}
D E G {several times - listen to the song to get the beat}
And you can dance
D EGood grief, won't you look on the dancefloor! G
She's got to be American; she's not from here
D E
Oh no! I can't even look away
G
She's just far too thin and beautiful as sin
D E
We're all living in a world of poetry
G
Eating polyester and committing adultery
D ECalm down, boy! I'll tell you the secret G
It's ever so simple it really, really is
Chorus:
D E
Hey! Sha-la-la-la Oo my-my
G
She's On Drugs What's up?
D E
Hey! Sha-la-la-la Oo my-my
G
She's On Drugs
D E
So steady on, get a grip on yourself
G
You just can't act like that in the theatre
D E
Where'd you get that look in your eyes
G
Behaving like the boss of a whole new religion
D E
Said please! I thought you got savvy
G
But you're looking like a lemon and talking like a navvy
D EAh I guess that's so many people's problem these days: G
You can see the hills - you just can't go there
Repeat Chorus
D
Aw, it simply shouldn't ever occur
Bm E
If she puts her arms above her head like that again
G D
I don't know what I'll say or do
Hey Charlie
D E G {repeat as many times as needed}
D E
Now I'm out on the street and I believe she's in distress
G
She's got her hair in her eyes and her eyes are in a mess
D E
Hey now, I've been hoping we was going to meet
G
Now won't you take my hand so I can help you across the street?
D E
Whooo! Talk about bloodsports!
G
Even the spectators get killed!
D E G
You can see the cars, you just can't get out of their way
Repeat Chorus
D
Ah this simply doesn't happen to me
Bm E
If you have a single night like that in town again
G D
I don't know what I'd say or do
D E G
Oh, but honey? I think I want to do it with you
Repeat Chorus
