Intro.:  |(G) / (Bm)(A)| x 4

I re-(G)member that day when he (Bm)walked up (A)to me (G) (Bm) (A)
Wrote my (G)number down, put it in the (Bm)pocket of his (A)bluejeans (G) (Bm) (A)
And (G)I (Bm)fell like a (A)feather, yeah, (G)just like that, (Bm)we were to-(A)gether
He was (G)my perfect gentleman, (Bm)sweet like, (A) real (G) sweet (Bm)

(Chorus)
And (F#m)his hands (A) (Bm)felt like (G)thunder on my skin (D)
His breath (A) (Bm)hot, oh, (G)how could I forget
That (A)his eyes looked right (Bm) through me (G) and that was it (D)
(Bm)Silence was the (A)only (G)sound then, --- and my heart pounding

Solo:  |(G) / (Bm)(A)| x 4

Told me (G)things would be different leaving (Bm)church that (A)Sunday (G) (Bm) (A)
but the (G)only change coming was the (Bm)quarters in the (A)ashtray (G) (Bm) (A)
Yeah, (G)I (Bm)should have known (A)better when the (G)last three times he (Bm)swore
That he would (A)never lay a-(G)nother finger on me but the (Bm)truth's on (A)my (G) face (Bm)

(Chorus)
And (F#m)his hands (A) (Bm)felt like (G)thunder on my (D)skin
His breath (A) (Bm)hot, oh, (G)how could I forget
His eyes (A) looked right (Bm) through me (G)and that was it (D)
(Bm)Silence was the (A)only (G)sound then, and my heart pounding

Solo:  |(G) / (A) / |(Bm) / (C#m) / | x 2

Oh, (Bm)I thought that he was all I ever wanted, (A) should have come with a (A/E)warning (G)
(F#m)Just like you, I've (G)been there too, oh, (Bm)I got bag and I got a plan (A)
Girl, you better get out while you can, (G) while you can, while you can |(G)(D/F#)(Em) ---

(Chorus)
'Cause his hands (A) (Bm)felt like (G)thunder on my skin (D)
His breath (A) (Bm)hot, oh, (G)how could I forget
That his eyes (A) looked right (Bm) through me (G)and that was (D)it
(Bm)Silence was the (A)only (G)sound then, (Bm)silence was the (A)only (G)sound then
