Rough Boys
G D
Running the streets
Cadd9 G/B
Come a little closer
Rough toys
Under the sheets
Nobody knows her
Rough boys
Don't walk away
I very nearly missed you
Tough boys
Come over here
I want to bite and kiss you
AFCGDADAA
I wanna see what I can find
Tough kid
Take a bottle of wine
when your deal is broken
Ten quid
She's so easy to blind
Not a word is spoken
Rough boys
Don't walk away
I feel pretty blissed here
Tough boy
I wanna carry you home
You got pretty pissed dear
AFCGD
AGAG
D
Gonna get inside you
D
Gonna get inside....your bitter mind
A
I wanna see what I can find
Rough boys
Don't walk away
I wanna buy your leather
Make noise
Try and talk me away
We can't be seen together
Tough kids
What can I do?
I'm so pale and weedy
Rough fits
In my hush puppy shoes
But I'm still pleadin'; bleedin',
needin', fightin', winin', chimin'
DCGAAAus
I wanna see what I can find
Tough boys
Running the streets
Come a little closer
Rough toys
Under the sheets
Nobody knows her
Rough boys
Don't you walk away
I very nearly missed you
Tough boys
Come over here
I want to bite and kiss you
