VERSE
G   G/F#         Em7 
I'm counting out time
        G/D                 C
Got the whole thing down by numbers
          G/B              A 
All those numbers! Give me guidance
  D                G 
O Lord I need that now
    G/F#               Em7 
The day of judgement's come
            G/D                C
And you can bet that I've been resting
         G/B        A 
For this testing, digesting 
      D                G 
Every word the experts say


BRIDGE
          F       C/E  G/D 
Erogenous zones I love you
    Bb                    F/A
Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Went to buy a book before it's too late.

I studied every line, every page in the book

Hoping it goes like I planned it

'Cause I understand it
           A                  D
Look! I've found the hotspots, Figures one to nine 
G       G/F#         Em7 
  Still counting out time
       G/D           C
Got my finger on the button
           G/B            A 
"Don't say nothin' - just lie there still 
         D                      G 
And I'll get you turned on just fine."

Bit of trouble in zone No. 7
