 E
Checking my lipstick
A
In your aviators
 E
Like a couple of cool kids,
 A
The hit paraders
 E                       A
The cherry glow of your cigarette

 C#m               B              A
Don’t tell me the world couldn’t handle
  C#m                  B        A
A good old-fashioned American scandal

Chorus:
 E                   A
Hold me baby, hold me
                     E     B A
Like you ain’t mine to hold
    E                   A
Oh kiss me baby kiss me,
                      E        B A
Like you don’t care who knows
    B
Oh love me baby love me
A                 E    A E A
Like Kennedy and Monroe

Lights are flashing, Main Street paparazzi
You got 'em lining up to watch you want me
Let's one up the rumors

Chorus

Don't tell me the world couldn't handle
A good old-fashioned American scandal

Hold me, baby, hold me
like you ain't mine to hold
Ooh, kiss me, baby, kiss me,
like you don't care who knows

Chorus

                                   A
(Don’t tell me the world couldn’t handle)
             E
Kennedy and Monroe
                                 A
(A good old-fashioned American scandal)
                       E
Ooh, like Kennedy and Monroe
                                   A
(Don’t tell me the world couldn’t handle)
             E
Kennedy and Monroe
                                 A
(A good old-fashioned American scandal)

 E                                A
Don’t tell me the world couldn’t handle
   E                            A
A good old-fashioned American scandal
