[Verse 1]
[C]I call you on the telephone
My [F]voice too rough with [G]cigarettes
[C]I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I'm [F]dealing with a memory
that [G]never forgets
[C]I love to hear you say my name
Es[F]pecially when [G]you say, "Yes"
[C]I got your body right now on my mind
But I [F]drunk myself blind
To the [G]sound of old T-[Am]Rex[Gm][F]

[G]Oh, and Who's [G]Next?

and open [G]legs
[C]I know only fools have needs
but [F]this one never [G]begs
[Am]I don't really mind

[Bb]We could make some b[C]ook of records

[C]I showed up late one night
with a [F]ne on light for a [G]vi sa
[C]But knowing I'm so eager to fight
can't make [F]letting me in any [G]easier
[C]I know I've been wearing crazy clothes
and I [F]look pretty crappy, [G]sometime
[C]But my body feels so good and
I [F]still sing a razor [G]line
every [Am]time
And when it [Gm]comes
to [F]all night [C]living
I know what I'm [Am]giving
