C                                  Dm
Oh what did I say? She's all shook up
C                                     Dm
Lost in the summer, man we're burning up
C                                      Dm
The time don't show when the sun gets carried
     Em                   G
The tide curves off your body
oh you'll stay with me

Chorus:
C               F      G
I, now I will show you
            C               F     G Dm
it's how I lie when no one told you

Oh, what did I say? She's all shook up
Vision by the seaside, we move in our hearts
But I don't know when the fire gets hazy
The flames roll down and off her body;
oh, you'll stay with me

Chorus:
I-I-I-I-I, now I will show you
It's how I lie-ie-ie-ie-ie what no one told you
So ride, Sherry, ride, Sherry, ride; I will show you
We'll go in the night, wondering why no one told you

C
Now I can walk the stones of the shoreline
                                   Dm
And taste the ocean salt when the cold shines
                                     G
My words are rolling soft down your south side

Chorus:
I-I-I-I-I, now I will show you
It's how I lie-ie-ie-ie-ie what no one told you
So ride, Sherry, ride, Sherry, ride; I will show you
We'll go in the night, wondering why no one told you

Why, you know it goes, you know it goes
Why, you know it goes, you know it goes
Why it goes...
