Bm                    G           A
I've got myself In a masochistic hold
F#                Bm
Why don't you let go
                      G            A
Shake it off just to redirect my flow
F#
Come on let's go
Bm                        G
Sit up straight I'm on a double date
           A
I've got to find my way
          F#
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
Bm                   G
We don't stop rock around the clock
     A                         F#
Motor mouthing off in front of every other road block

G                                   F#
Come again and tell me what you're going thru
G                               F#
Like a girl who only knew her child was due

Chorus:
Bm          D              A              Em
Memories of everything Of lemon trees on mercury
Bm               D             A              F#
Come to me with remedies from five or six of seven seas
Bm          D               A               Em
You always took me with a smile when I was down
Bm          D                 A/C#  A#dim
Memories of everything that blew through

Looking up into a reverse vertigo
What an undertow
Give it up, another stubborn Scorpio
Come on, let's go
Sit up straight, I'm on a double date
I've got to find my way into the light, heavy, middleweight
We don't stop, rock around the clock
Motor-mouthing off in front of every other road block

Come again and tell me what you're going thru
Like a girl who only knew her child was due
To the moon she gave another good review
Turn around and look at me
It's really really you

Chorus

Bm                        G
Sit up straight I'm on a double date
           A
I've got to find my way
          F#
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
Bm                   G
We don't stop rock around the clock
     F#
Motor mouthing off in front of every other road block

Chorus - x2
