   Watch the watch the way I walk
   G#                          D#
   Can't you think my movements talk 
   G#                        C# 
   Watch the watch the way I walk
   G#                          D#
   Can't you think my movements talk 


G#
See me silently quietly creep
C#
I am too amped to sleep
G#
Lamp rays shining down
C#
Street lamps make the bussing sound
G#
Subway creaking down below
C#
Garbage piled up and ready to go


[ G#  C#  G#  D# ] x2


Lock the windows the gates on
Taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats but dogs don't bark
Cool cats strolling after dark


[ G#  C#  G#  D# ] x2


   Watch the watch... 

Shaky lock and kicky door
Smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the street till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away


[ G#  C#  G#  D# ] x2


   A#                        D#

   Can't you think my movements talk
   Can't you think my movements talk
   Can't you think my movements talk

7-11 (Joey Ramone)

I met her at the 7-11 yeah
Now I'm in seventh heaven
F                   G
Tell me tell me can this be true
I never thought I'd ever meet a girl like you
 

She was standing by the Space Invaders
So I said can I see you later
Yeah we went for a little spin
Down to the Holiday Inn
 

   Am     C
   We was young and in love
   We was young and in love
         Am                            C        G
   And you're the only girl I'm ever thinking of

   
We went down to the record swap
The kids were dancing to the Blitzkrieg Bop
Bop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop
Bop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop
 
What ever happened to the radio
And where did all the fun songs go
Summer fun with the Beach Boys on
But we all know what went wrong
 
   We was young...

   
      F         G               C     Am
      And so we went out to the dance
      Which turned into a whole romance
      F         G
      And after just one night
      I never thought that things could be so right
      F        G           C   Am
      Oh no-no no no no-no no      

 
I kissed and hugged her and I said goodbye
Last thing I knew she wouldn't make it alive
Oncoming car went out of control
It crushed my baby and it crushed my soul
 
Now all I got is sorrow and pain
Standing out here in the rain
The crash, shattering glass, the sirens and pain
It's driving me insane
 
   Oh yeah we was young and in love
   Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we was young and in love
   And you're the only girl I'm ever thinking of         [ no G here ]

Ever dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

Everybody was cranky
Even the maids were mean
We ran into a miracle
There was beer in the soda machine
Every dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony
