  D5               Bb5            A5       C5 
I knew from when I saw you on the showroom floor

D5           Bb5      A5     
    You were made for me

D5                Bb5               A5  C5     
Took you home and dressed you up in polyester

D5     Bb5  A5
   Princess of my dreams

 D5    Bb5      A5      C5
Emotionless and cold as ice

D5         Bb5      A5 
All of the things I like 

    D5               Bb5              C5            F5

VERSE 2

    D5         Bb5        A5     C5
Our private is subject to investigation

D5    Bb5     A5
   No time to waste

D5              Bb5             A5  C5
People say they heard about our deviation

D5         Bb5   A5
   But you never looked so good

Throw in this:
e|---------15--|
B|---18b20-----|

D5        Bb5          A5         C5
Wear fake fur and fake pearls for me

    D5          Bb5  A5
And put on your mystery

    D5             Bb5             C5       F5     
The way I feel you know I'll never keep you waiting
