       A                      A                       D9
In her own mad mind, she's in love with you,  ...with you!

If you don't watch out it'll stick to you,  ...to you!

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea,

Nice, the #9ths really give this song its great sound. Thanks for not just dumbing everything down to 7ths.
