Gm
All aboard stitch in time
Get yours  got mine
In a minute I'll be there
Sit tight get square
You can do it at the hippodrome
Slide back trombone
Anybody got a TV at home
That's right unknown

When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman save me some
Better get up on your run

Chorus:
Cm       A#
So much more than
  F        D#
Charlie's waking me
Cm     A#
To my core and
  F        D#
Charlie's shakin' me
Cm        A#
Tell my story
      F        D#
And Charlie's making me
     Cm        A#         F
And Charlie's making me smile

 D  
Oh, Oh, now
Gm
(tic tic tic tic tic tic)
Gm
(one one one more)
Gm
(wait wait wait wait wait one more)

Everybody do the twist
Get the the message on Flea's fists
Move around like a scientist
Lay down get kissed
Big picture and it never lies
Big daddy will advice
EverReady in disguise
Sunset sunrise

When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman save me some
Better get up on your run

Chorus

D# F  Gm
   My heart. Your skin
This love. I'm in
D#                  F
We don't arrive without a surprise
        Gm
You're right. I'm wrong
Be free. Be wrong
D#                  F
Intimate sight has come into light

When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman save me some
Better get up on your run

All I ever wanted to
Was pick it up and run with you
Slip it into a summer spell
Double up and run like hell

Chorus

My heart. Your skin
This love. I'm in
We don't arrive without a surprise
You're right. I'm wrong
Be free. Be wrong
Intimate sight has come into light

My heart. Your skin
This love. I'm in
We don't arrive without a surprise
You're right. I'm wrong
Be free. Be wrong
Intimate sight has come into light
