Riff A (3x)
 
Then 2nd verse (sim. to first)
Sky dive naked from an aeroplane
Or a lady with a body from outer space
My heart, my heart, kickstart my heart
Say I've got trouble in my eyes
I'm just lookin for another good time
My heart, my heart, kickstart my heart

17th pos, and 17th pos for the leads, respectively.
