     A               D       Bm            E
The dance floor's a temptress, can't make out
             A     D Bm  E
what you're saying.

But you rub me the right way
With your child-like persuasion

I got my hands in my pockets
And I'm crossing my fingers

F#m
She'll find I'm a simple Stone,
                   A  D Bm E
washed up and so slow
F#m
I'd take one in the temple,
I'd take one for you.

Chorus:
A                    D    Bm                  E
I'd take one in the temple, I'd take one for you.
A                    D    Bm                  E
I'd take one in the temple, I'd take one for you.

I feel all amiss now
I'm tossed in the scatter

And your eyes keep on shifting
To the boys that don't matter

I've got my hands in my pockets
I'm still crossing my fingers

I'd take one in the temple
I'd take one for you

Chorus

             A           F#m   D
I've got my hands in my pockets,
          A           F#m   D
and I'm crossing my fingers.
        A          F#m    D
I just want to be noticed,
        A          F#m    D
I just want to be noticed.

Chorus - x2
