G#
Hey now honey
     B
You got to face the floor
     C#
You headed for the heart
         F#                            G#
But you couldn't find the door, could you?
F#     G#
Could you?
           G#
Well, I'm standing in the sun
         B
But I'm living in the rain
  C#                           F#                    G#
I got to get a-whirlin' like a human hurricane over you
F#    G#
Over you

            B                         G#m
Now you're looking like a fox on the run
            B                         G#m
And you're faster than a shot from a gun
                F#
I'm pointing at you, oh you. Talking 'bout you, hey you

Chorus:
                           G#
I thought we had love in store
              E               F#
You keep on knockin' on every door
                         G#
Babe, I've seen it all before
              E               F#
You keep on knockin' on every door
          E           G#
Ain't no lovin' you ignore
              E                F#
You keep on knockin' on every door
                                   G#
Keep keep knock knockin' on every door
              E               F#
You keep on knockin' on every door

Hey now honey
Time is all you've spent
You moved into the bed
but you couldn't pay the rent
Could you?

In the twinkle of an eye
You electrify
I got to get a-shootin'
like a rocket in the sky, bye bye
Goodbye

Now you're burning like you're hot on the scene
Don't you love to steal a part of my dream?
I'm looking at you, oh you.
Talking 'bout you, yea you

Chorus - x3
