Wasn't posted on this site yet, hats off to whomever made the base for this, I just
modified it slightly. I believe it's based around the piano cover Anjani Thomas did.

Intro
[Am] [AmM7] [Am7] [AmM7]
[Am] [AmM7]
There's perfume burning in the air
[Am7] [Am6]
Bits of beauty everywhere
[Bm7] [E7] [Am7] [Bm7] [E7]
Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt
[Am] [AmM7] [Am7]
She comes so close you feel her then
[Am6]
She tells you no and no again
[Bm7] [E7]
Your lip is cut on the edge
[D7] [E7]
Of her pleated skirt
[Am] [AmM7] [Am7] [AmM7]
Blue Alert
[Am] [AmM7]
Visions of her drawing near
[Am7] [Am6]
Arise, abide, and disappear
[Bm7] [E7] [Am7]
You try to slow it down it doesn't work
[Bm7] [E7]
[Am] [AmM7]
It's just another night I guess
[Am7] [Am6]
All tangled up in nakedness
[Bm7] [E7] [D7]
You even touch yourself you're such a flirt
[Bm7] [E7] [Am7] [AmM7]
Blue Alert
[Dm7] [E7] [Am7]
You know how nights like this begin
[D7]
The kind of knot your heart gets in
[Dm7] [E7] [Am7] [D7]
Any way you turn is going to hurt
[Dm7] [E7]
There's perfume burning in the air
[Am7] [D7]
Bits of beauty everywhere
[Dm7] [E7] [D7] [E7]
Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt
[Am] [AmM7] [Am7] [AmM7]
Blue Alert
[Am] [AmM7] [Am7]
She breaks the rules so you can see
[Am6]
She's wilder than you'll ever be
[Bm7] [E7] [Am7] [E7]
You talk religion but she won't convert
[Am] [AmM7]
Her body's twenty stories high
[Am7] [Am6]
You try to look away, you try
[Bm7] [E7] [D7] [E7]
But all you want to do is get there first
[Am] [AmM7]
Blue Alert
