E             A                     E              A
Been down and dirty since I met you, been down and now I can't forget you,
E             A                     B                      A
Been down and never shoulda let you out, I'm all about you now.

E          G            C         A
I saw your picture in a dirty magazine,
E          G             C                  A
I read the caption and I don't know what it means,
E        G                 C             A
I always thought of you as super squeaky clean,
                                        B
And it goes to show you never know what happens when you leave a scene.

E             A                     E              A
Been down and dirty since I met you, been down and now I can't forget you,
E             A                     B             A
Been down and never shoulda let you out, I'm all about you.

Been down and never shoulda let you out,
                 A                    E          A  E  B
I'm all about you now, I gotta get you back somehow.

E         G           C                A
I light a candle in remembrance of our love,
E           G               C                 A
I play your Hummingbird, do you still play my Dove?
E               G                C                   A
Well, I like to play guitar, but sometimes it's not enough,
                                          B
And I need some time to blow your mind, my little diamond in the rough.

E             A                     E              A
Been down and dirty since I met you, been down and now I can't forget you,
E             A                     B             A
Been down and never shoulda let you out, I'm all about you.
E             A                     E              A
Been down and dirty since I met you, been down and now I can't forget you,

Been down and never shoulda let you out,
                 A                    E          A  E  B
I'm all about you now, I gotta get you back somehow.

A             E             B             Gb
If you be the needle, baby, I will be the groove,
A                   E              B  
Like a long-playing record, I will stay with you, yeah,
A              E                         B               Gb
I'll spin you around and around till you hear me in your heart,
   A             E        B       
Oh, come on baby, can't we start?

I gotta get you back somehow, yeah.
