Dm                      C
She ran him over like a bus
                 Dm
But he seemed to feel no pain
                C 
Just laid there smiling
          Dm
Like a flower in the rain
                           C
She shrunk his ego down so small
                                   Dm
That he didn't even know his name
Dm                       C
She knew no other way to love
               Dm
That's how she played the game

[Chorus]
Bb                        C
But when he got her in a darkened room
Bb                   C
In the still of the afternoon
Gm                    Am7
He became her entire world
                Bb              C      Csus4
And she cried like a little girl
F                C
The line between pleasure and pain
Gm
Can't be measured by means of the brain
F                     C
Mere reason alone can never explain
        Dm
How the heart behaves

[Verse 2]
Dm                    C
She wrapped her claws around him
       Dm 
Like a crab around a rock
Dm                   C
It was baby this and baby that
    Dm
She never let him talk
Dm                  C
He couldn't see his shadow
         Dm
She was always in the light
Dm                   C
And if he moved she arched her back
    Dm
And dug her claws in tight

[Chorus]
Bb                        C
But when he got her in a darkened room
Bb                   C
In the still of the afternoon
Gm                    Am7
He became her entire world
                Bb              C      Csus4
And she cried like a little girl
F                C
The line between pleasure and pain
Gm
Can't be measured by means of the brain
F                     C
Mere reason alone can never explain
        Dm
How the heart behaves

[Verse 3]
Dm                           C
And they said that he'd break
Dm                          C         Csus4
How much more could he take
Gm                               Am7
And just when you thought that he'd kill her
               Bb             C
She gave him a kiss, it never missed
Dm                        C
And then one day she ran away
                Dm
With a guy she hardly knew
Dm                       C
She left a note that said
               Dm
I'm bored with me and you
Bb                C
He found another girl himself
Bb                 C
A high-heeled hurricane
Gm                 Am7
There was no calm inside her eyes
                Bb               C      Csus4
Just a promise of more of the same

[Chorus]
Bb                        C
But when he got her in a darkened room
Bb                   C
In the still of the afternoon
Gm                    Am7
He became her entire world
                Bb              C      Csus4
And she cried like a little girl
F                C
The line between pleasure and pain
Gm
Can't be measured by means of the brain
F                     C
Mere reason alone can never explain
        Dm
How the heart behaves
