C     G           Dm  F
Her skin is like velvet
C    G             Dm   F
Her face cut from stone
C   G                 Dm   F
Her eyes when she's smiling
C     G           Dm
Will never reach home

Chorus:
     F            C  G Dm F G Dm F
But hear how she sings

Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we're together
I'm always alone

Chorus - x2

Her skin is like velvet
So I went to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can't own
Her skin is like velvet

Chorus:
And hear how she sings
And hear how she sings
