Scarlet Fever Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I stood outside the Lucky Star
Staring at the flashing sign
It [G]read:come on in
and watch young
Scarlet's [D]body come alive
Let her [G]dance for you and
[A]catch your spell
You'll [D]swear you can be[G]lieve her
Be careful not to catch the scarlet [A]fever.
So I [D]paid my fare and walked
down front
And found an empty chair
As [G]I settled in young scarlet took the
[D]ribbons from her hair
The moves her [G]body made
while the [A]music played
Were the [D]likes I've never [G]seen
And she became [A]the envy of my dreams.
[D]One by one her teasing movements
Brought the crowd out of their seats
[A]And all[G] at once young scarlet
Danced straight [D]up in front of me
From the mo[G]ment that
her eye[A]s found mine
I've [D]never been [G]the same
Scarlet locked another
[A]heart upon [D]her chain.
Now I get scarlet [G]fever[Asus4]
[A]every time I [D]see [G]her
But she's [D]a night club [Em]teaser[Asus4]
Not [A]paid to notice [D]me
Yes, I get scarlet [G]fever[Asus4]
If [A]she knew how much I [D]need [G]her
She'd place her [D]hand in [Em]my
[Asus4]hand
[A]And dance away [D]with me.
She looked 25 but I was told
That she was just 16
She had a [G]way of making a man believe
She [D]danced for only him
As she [G]tantalized [A]I fantasized
And felt the [D]sound of my heart [G]beat
And every night I'd dream
She'd [A]fall in love with [D]me.
Then one night while driving in
[A]My eye[D]s begun to tear
[A]'Cause [G]the sign outside the Lucky
Star said: [D]scarlet isn't here
she'd [G]left that day to [A]find a life
of [D]bigger and better [G]things
and she left behind my
[A]chain of broken dreams.
[D]But still get scarlet fev[G]er[Asus4]
[A]In my mind I still [D]see [G]her
Out there [D]dancing [Em]somewhere[Asus4]
To an[A]other fool [D]like me.
