F#          G#m
Cocaine and innocence
B           D#    C#
And Romeo's waiting
F#          G#m
Candies and sugar daddies
B                E            F#
They never stop wasting your time
              G#m
Time to dance to the top
B                D#    C#
With champagne indifference
    F#        G#m
And I sit salivating
            B
If I could touch you there
                  E
Would you be liberated? ah yeah

Chorus:
F#      C#
I don't want to be
A#      B
Another enemy
 F#   C#                 A#
Even though you make me bleed
        B
Like a Kennedy
F#       C#        A#    B
Not when my body's so exciting
G#m            B
Sometimes you make me
         D# C#
So frustrated
G#m            B           D#    C#
How come it's me I end up hating?
               F#
Romeo's waiting
G#m            E
Romeo's waiting
               F#
Romeo's waiting
G#m            E
Romeo's waiting
And he don't want to lose tonight

Blood on the dance floor
And Romeo's fainting
Showing pink and leather tonight
She's dancin' with fear in her eyes
Zero's no hero
But in his mind
He's Lancelot the Knight
And if his lady calls
It'll be so good
'Cos she'll be liberated

Chorus:
F#      C#
I don't want to be
A#      B
Another enemy
F#    C#                 A#
Even though you make me bleed

Like a Kennedy

Sometimes you make me

So frustrated
G#m           B           D#    C#
How come it's  me I end up hating?

And he don't want to lose tonight
          F#
Well the senses overload
                 A B
To an L.A. strobe
       F#
Yeah, now you got him sweating he's the
                   A B
Rebel that you know
       F#
Said I love that thing
                        A B
God, I love ya heave-ho
