G          Em    G      Em
I've been tryin real hard.
G    Em   C
To realize
G               Em            G
But some things take a long, long,
       Em
long, long time
      C
Long time

Chorus:
 G        B7
Hold the phone
       Em
Hit repeat
            C               G
You got me folding at the knees
        B7
Saw the flame
       Em
tasted sin
     C               G
You burned me once again
        B7
Cut the cord,
         Em  C
she's a creep
     G   B7
Aberdeen!
       C
Way back, way back...

Never saw my dark side in-in your eyes
Back and forth, bloody fingers painting up the sky
The sky

Chorus:
Hold the phone, hit repeat
Got me foamin' at the knees
Saw the flame, tasted sin
But you burn me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeen!
Way back, way back, way back!

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Ooh, ooh

Chorus:
Hold the phone, hit repeat
Got me foamin' at the knees
Saw the flame, tasted sin
You burn me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeen!
Aberdeen!
Way back, way back, way back!

Way back, way back, way back!
Way back, way back, way back
Way back, way back, way back
Way back, way back, way back
(Ooh, ooh)
