G                          Am
I could escape this feeling with my china girl
G                        Am
I feel a wreck without my little china girl
Em                       G
I feel her hearts beating loud as thunder
Am                      B
Saw they stars crushing

I'm a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the mornings, where's my little China Girl?
I hear her hearts beating loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down

Chorus:
G                           F
I feel I'm tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
Em                       D
When I look at my china girl
G                       F
I could pretend nothing really meant too much
Em                       D
When I look at my china girl

Em                 D
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
C                                  B
Visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone
Em                    D    C B
It's in the white of my eyes

My little china girl, you shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are (you know)
I'll give you television, I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

Chorus:
G                     F
And when I get excited my little china girl says
Em                           D
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
        Em      D         C
She says sshhh  - she says sshhh -
B
she says

G                      F
And when I get excited my little china girl says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
She says sshhh  - she says sshhh -
she says sshhh -
