Verse 1
[D]Bobby was a kid from ‘round the town
[G]Kicks pumped up and head held down
[D]Underwater more than he was [G]up
He dreamed [D]submarines and bottle green
[G]Imaginary flight machines
But in [D]blue jean flairs he’d bubble like a [G]7-up

[Em]Everybody wants to [F#m]know you when you’re the [Bm]only one to know
[G]Shoot it ‘til you feel [D/F#]alive and play one more [Em]show
Chorus
[C]Look into the buzz and [G]shake it ‘til it turns [D]around
You [A]can’t stop feeling
The [C]Paul Smith suits and the [G]elevator boots [D]astound
And you [A]can’t help healing
And they [C]want you and you [G]want to
With your [D]lips on fire and your [A]head unscrewed
But it’s [C]time to whip another [G]chain and hit onе more [D]town[G]

[D]Bobby doesn’t know her namе
He [G]holds on tightly just the same

One [G]summer in San Antonio
I [D]remember her, I don’t remember [G]me

And they [C]want you and you [G]want to
With your [D]lips on fire and your [A]head unscrewed

Gotta [D]get outa the house take a ride on the radio [G]dial
