I move like a stranger in this strange land. 
Bm                           B7sus4 
She was a round hole, I was a square peg. 
   A                   E                   D        E 
I watched the little black specks running down her leg. 
 F#m                            E 
Didn't seem to mind that dirty rain coming down ---

It's no night to be out dancing in a party town

when it runs hot and it runs so wide ---
