[F] Lisa says [C] on a night like this

while.

[Cm] [Bb] [F]
Lisa [C] says.
Oh [Bb] no, [F] Lisa says.
Lisa says honey you must [C] think I'm some kind of California fool.
[Bb] The way you treat [C] me just like some [Fm] kind [F] of tool.
Lisa says hey baby if [C] you stick your tongue in my ear
[Bb] then the scene around here [C] will become [F] very clear.

Oh [Bb] no, Lisa [F] says.
Hey if you're looking [Am] for a good time [Bb] Charlie
well that's not really [C]
what I [F] am.
You [Am] know some good time [Bb] Charlie
oh without having his [Gm] fun.
[F] [C]
But if you're looking for [A] some good, [Am]
good [Bb] loving
then sit [C] yourself right [F] over here.
You know that [Am] those good, [G]
[Am] good times they [Bb] just seem to pass [Gm] me by
[F] [Gb] [Gm]
just like pie in the [C] sky.

[G] Jeez you [C] know those good, good times they just [D] seem to pass me [Dm] by.
[G] [F]
Why am [G] I so [C] shy?
[A] [Dm]
[G] [C] First time I saw you I [Bm] was talking to myself.
[Dm] I said hey you [G] got those pretty, pretty [C] eyes.
