[Intro 1]
[D][C][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I [D]choose my friends only [C]far too [G]well
I'm up on the [D]pavement,
they're all [C]down in the cel[G]lar
With their government [D]grants
and [C]my I[G]Q
They brought me [D]down to size,
aca[C]demia [G]blues

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 2]
Lou[D]ise is a girl,
I [C]know her [G]well
She's up on the [D]pavement,
yes she's a [C]weather [G]girl
And I'm staying [D]up here
so I may [C]be un[G]done
She's ina[D]propriate,
but then she's [C]much more [G]fun and

[Chorus 1]
[F]When she smi[G]les my way[F]
My eyes go [G]out in vain
She's got [F]perfect [G]skin[C]

[Verse 3]
[D]Shame on you,
you've got no [C]sense of [G]grace,
shame on [D]me
Ah [C]just in [G]case
I might [D]come to a conclusion
Other than [C]that which is [G]absolutely [D]necessary
[C]And that's per[G]fect skin

[Interlude 2]
[D][C][G]
[D][C][G]
[D][C][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Louise is the girl
with the [C]perfect [G]skin
She says turn [D]on the light,
otherwise it [C]can't be [G]seen
She's got [D]cheekbones like geometry
and [C]eyes like [G]sin
And she's [D]sexually enlightened
[C]by cosmopo[G]litan and

[Chorus 2]
[F]When she smi[G]les my way[F]
My eyes go [G]out in vain
She's got [F]perfect [G]skin
Yeah that's [C]perfect skin

[Interlude 3]

[E][D][A]

[Verse 5]
She takes me [D]down to the basement
to [C]look at her [G]slides
Of her family [D]life,
pretty [C]weird at [G]times
At the [D]age of ten
she looked like [C]Greta Gar[G]bo
And I [D]loved her then,
but [C]how was she to [G]know that

[Chorus 3]
[F]When she smi[G]les my way[F]
My eyes go [G]out in vain
She's got [F]perfect [G]skin[C]

[Outro 1]
Up [D]eight flights of stairs
to her [C]basement [G]flat
Pretty con[D]fused huh,
being shipped a[C]round like [G]that
Seems we [D]climbed so high
now we're [C]down so [G]low
Strikes me the [D]moral of this song
must be [C]there never [G]has been [D]one
