[Verse 1]
             Am              
He\'s got a cross on his neck,
                G
 but he spends somedays 
in my bed
          D/F#               
He\'s my blue jean little baby,
          F
 with a Halo on his head
          Am                   
He\'s got lips like cherry wine, 
          G
and cigarette 
smoke on his breath
           D/F#                 
He\'s got pretty
 long brown hair,
       F
 green eyes that 
look like sex

[Pre-Chorus 1]
  Am               E
Knees down at your alter
  G                   D/F#
Please don\'t fail me now

You know all my secrets

Won\'t you take me 
              Dm

You know you\'re my weakness

            Am                  
Let\'s drive off
 into the sunset,
       G

         D/F#               
Walk on water in the desert,
         F
 make a Saint out of a whore
