With nothing but your t-shirt on.

And go sit on the bed 'cause I know that you want to.
F G
You got pretty eyes, but I know you're wrong.
C Am
And don't call it a spade if it isn't a spade.
F G
And go lie on the floor if you want.
C Am
The first bit of advice that you gave me that I liked was they're too strong, too strong.

Get in the shower if it all goes wrong.
