Chords for Chuck E's in love - Rickie Lee Jones

_ _ Ricky Lee Jones wrote Chuckie's in Love about the LA hipster Chuckie Weiss.
She met Weiss and Tom Waits in Hollywood's Tropicana Motel
So this is a song I wrote in
1978
_ _ In this little room I had in Hollywood _
_ And I knew these people I used to hang around with at a club.
I used to go to and
_ When they weren't very good friends of mine
But they were very interesting people and I had a conversation with one of them
It said he had fallen in love with his cousin
_ _ _ But he was always
moving a lot of girls in and out of his little
_ room a
couple of day
_ _ _ And I wrote this song and I remember playing it for him outside
_ [A] [G] On the street a day or two later because I thought it was a great [Bm] song.
I played it for him and some girl
[A] She said did you write [D] that about [A] him and me?
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
[A] How [Bm] _ come you don't come and [A] PLP with [Bm] me?
_ _ [A] Down at the meter no more
[Bm] How [A] come you turn [Bm] off the [C#m] TV?
_ [Bm] And it [G#] hangs this [Bm] side of the [A] door
[D] We _ [A] call [D] how come we say _ _ _
What could make [A] a boy behave _ [Bm] this way
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ He's a [A] little
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] Now every time you
stutter [G#] when he [D] talks
It's true, [A] it's true
[Bm] His sound [A] has acquired a [Bm] cool [G#] and uninspired [Bm] sort of jazz [A] when he walks
[D] Where's [A] his jacket and [D] his old blue jeans?
_ This ain't healthy, this is some [Bm] kind of clean
Let [A] the [D] jacket and his old blue jeans
Chuck is in love
[Bm] _ _
[A] _ [Bm] Chuck is in love _ _
[A] _ [Bm] Chuck is in love _
_ _ [D] Chuck is in love
I don't believe [G] what you're saying [C#m] to me
This is something I have to [G] see
[A] Is he here?
_ [C] _ Look in the [F#] pool [F] hall
[A] Is he here?
_ [C] Look [F#] in the [F] drugstore
Is he here?
Is [A] he here?
_ [A] No, he don't come [E] here no more
_ _ _ [F#m] _
[C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ I tell you what
I [A] saw him
He [Bm] was sitting behind us when we was at the Pantages
You know who it [A] is
[Bm] _
He's got up [D] his sleeve
[A] I hope it [D] wasn't contagious
_ [D] What's her [A] name?
Is [D] that her there?
[A] _ [D] Christ, I think he's [A] even [D] curious
Is [A] _ _ [D] that [A] her?
[D] What's [A] her name?
