Verse 1:
 
       Em7 
What a hot and sultry summer  
               Cadd9 
The steam just slides up off them streets 
    G 
You got to stay inside and wait for the night  
         D 
And then come on over and see me 
          Em7 
There's a poetry about these streets  
         Cadd9 
It just slips from your skin and goes right underneath 
     G 
And mama always knew I'd meet a girl like you  
    D 
But me  I never believed 
             Em7          D                          Cadd9     
 D 
Cuz I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy 
             Em7          D                          Cadd9 
Cuz I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy 



                      E 
Where'd you get them scars? 
            C#m 
How blue is your heart? 
      A 
Is it sad enough to break? 
                 E             B 
She said  "it's sad enough to break" 
                 E 
How long was your life? 
        C#m 
Was it cold and strange like mine? 
         A 
Are you man enough to lay here? 
                E             B                   E 
She said  "I'm man enough my baby  come see about me"

Verse 2: 

         Em7                              Cadd9 
I had a dream about you once  and I could barely see your form 
       G 
And I met you between the wax and the needle  
        D 
In the words of my favorite song 
      Em7                                  Cadd9 
Your black hair was like a raven with your tan skin on the beach 
      G                                 D 
Your backdrop were the auroras and my sidekick was all this grief 
         Em7                  D                    Cadd9 
I've been so low down  I'm almost level with the ground 



                      E 
Where'd you get them scars? 
            C#m 
How blue is your heart? 
      A 
Is it sad enough to break? 
                 E             B 
She said  "it's sad enough to break" 
                 E 
How long was your life? 
        C#m 
Was it cold and strange like mine? 
         A 
Are you man enough to lay here? 
                E             B                   E 
She said  "I'm man enough my baby  come see about me"

Bridge:
 
         E                                C#m           B 
Did they take you to the carnival to get locked up on a ride? 
E 
Me  I got caught up with the fortune tellers 
          C#m                  A 
And the ladies with the sleepy eyes 
         A              B 
It took years my baby just to come clean  
        C#m                 A 
Every streetlight a reminder 
    B           C#m 
And all those apologies 
         A         B            C#m 
And the night was lonely next to me 
         A         B              E 
Even the night was lonely next to me 


 
                      E 
Where'd you get them scars? 
            C#m 
How blue is your heart? 
      A 
Is it sad enough to break? 
                 E             B 
She said  "it's sad enough to break" 
                 E 
How long was your life? 
        C#m 
Was it cold and strange like mine? 
         A 
Are you man enough to lay here? 
                E             B                   E     C#m 
She said  "I'm man enough my baby  come see about me 



Outro: 
           A           E    B 
Come see about me  ah-ah 
         C#m        A 
Come see about me  
          E       B 
Come see about me  
          C#m         A 
Come see about me  ah-ah 
           E          B 
Come see about me  ah-ah 
                 E 
Whenever you're lonely
