G#  G#/G         Fm7

I'm counting out time,

G#/Eb               C#7+

Got the whole thing down by numbers.

G#/C             Bb

All those numbers! Give me guidance!

Eb7              G#

O Lord I need that now.

G#/G               Fm7

The day of judgement's come,

G#/Eb              C#7+

And you can bet that I've been resting,

G#/C      Bb

for this testing, digesting every

Eb7              G#

word the experts say.

F#      C#/F  G#/Eb

Erogenous zones I love  you.

B                       F#/Bb         G#7

Without you, what would a poor boy do?

G#7

Found a girl I wanted to date, Thought I'd better get it straight. Went to buy a book before it's too late. Don't leave nothing to fate.

G#7/Eb       Bb7         C#

I studied every line, every page in the book,

D                 D/C                  Bb

Now, I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look.

G#  G#/G         Fm7

I'm counting out time,

G#/Eb                  C#7+

hoping it goes like I planned it,

G#/C

'cos I understand it.

Bb                  Eb7            G#

Look! I've found the hotspots, Figures one to nine.

G#/G         Fm7

still counting out time,

G#/Eb         C#7+

got my finger on the button,

G#/C           Bb

"Don't say nothin' - just lie there still

Eb7                    G#

And I'll get you turned on just fine."

F#      C#/F G#/Eb

Erogenous zones I love you.

B                       F#/Bb          G#7

Without you, what would a poor boy do?

G#7

Touch and go with 1-6. Bit of trouble in zone No. 7. Gotta remember all of my tricks. There's heaven ahead in No. 11!

G#7/Eb     Bb7       C#

Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils.

D         D/C       Bb

"Honey get hip! It's time to unzip, to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip. Whipee!"

( G#  G#/G  Fm7  G#/Eb  C#7+  G#/C  Bb  Eb7  G# ) 2x

G#  G#/G         Fm7

I'm counting out time,

G#/Eb          C#7+

reaction none to happy,

G#/C

Please don't slap me,

Bb                        Eb7                   G#

I'm a red blooded male  and the book said I could not fail.

G#/G         Fm7

I'm counting out time,

G#/Eb         C#7+

I got unexpected distress

G#/C

from my mistress,

Bb                  Eb7              G#

I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away.

F#      C#/F     G#/Eb

Erongenous zones I question you

B                       F#/Bb    G#

Without you, what would a poor boy do?

B                       F#/Bb    G#

Without you, what would a poor boy do?

B                  F#/Bb               G#    C#m

Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues.
