SHE HOPPED IN MY CAR FASTER THAN BAR TIME
G                        Bm             C                    G
"HONEY, WOULD YOU LIKE A DATE", SHE SAID IT WASNŽT EVEN AN ORIGINAL LINE
       Em                          D
AND MY PANTS THEY TIGHTENED AND MY FACE GREW TAUT
          Em                          D
AND IN MY MIND MY MOTHER SAID, "YOUŽD BETTER NOT"
     C                               D                          Esus2

C     D  G
HMM-MMM
                  Bm         C                    G
AND SHE SLID REAL CLOSE TO ME SHE SAID I NEED NOT FEAR
G                   Bm                  C                   D
I LOOKED LIKE I WAS CAUGHT IN HEADLIGHTS WITH THE EYES OF A LONELY DEER

CHORUS:

          Em                    D
FORBIDDEN FRUIT IŽLL SCALE YOUR THORNY VINE
             Em                  D
TO REACH THE TOP IŽLL SCRAPE AND TWIST MY SPINE
          Em               D
FORBIDDEN FRUIT MAN WHAT A JOYOUS MEAL
            Em               D
IT TASTES SO SWEET IŽLL EVEN EAT THE PEEL
        C                               D
IF THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULDNŽT THEN I WOULD
                   Esus2
MAN, BAD MUST MEAN GOOD
C    D    G
BAD, BAD, GOOD

G                    Bm    C              G                     
SHE THRUST A TAPE IN MY CASSETTE DECK SHE SEEMED A LITTLE EAGER
G                                Bm    C                    G
I SAID, "THIS SOUNDS JUST LIKE A TV AD" SHE SAID IT WAS BOB SEGER
        Em                        D
AND THE SMOKE DANCED LOOPS FROM A CIGARETTE
        Em               D
AND HER FINGERNAILS WERE SILVER LIKE A SHINY JET
        C                                  D
AND HER LIPSTICK STAINED THE FILTER AS SHE TWIRLED IT
                     Esus2
LIKE A PINK ROULETTE WHEEL
C      D  G
HMM-MMM
                     Bm    C                            G
AND WOULD YOU LIKE A GAMBLE SHE SAID, "LETŽS GO BACK TO MY FLAT
G                 Bm     C                            D
FOR A EXTRA FIFTY DOLLARS IŽLL MAKE YOU PURR LIKE AN ATOMIC CAT"

                   Esus2
MAN, BAD MUST MEAN GOOD
C    D    G
BAD, BAD, GOOD

G             Bm    C                 G
WE SAT ON HER FLOOR  CONNECTED LIKE A HUMAN TRAIN
G                   Bm           C                      G
I TALKED ON AND ON ABOUT MY LIFE  HER INTEREST SHE JUST FEIGNED
       Em                 D
AS SHE LAYED ME DOWN ON A SINGLE BED 
        Em                     D
AND THE ROOF DRIPPED RAIN ALL AROUND MY HEAD
       C                                 D
AND MY ANGKLES WERE FILLED WITH BEADS OF SWEAT
                        Esus2
AND THE MONEY LOOKED SO GREEN
C      D  G
HMM-MMM
                     Bm     C                  G   
AND SHE LOOKED RIGHT THROUGH ME AS IF I WERE A WINDOW
G                     Bm   C                 D
AND WHEN WE BOTH WERE EMPTY THE NEON LEFT AN EERIE GLOW

CHORUS:

          Em                    D
FORBIDDEN FRUIT IŽLL SCALE YOUR THORNY VINE
             Em                  D
TO REACH THE TOP IŽLL SCRAPE AND TWIST MY SPINE
          Em               D
FORBIDDEN FRUIT MAN WHAT A JOYOUS MEAL
             Em              D
IT TASTES SO SWEET IŽLL EVEN EAT THE PEEL
        C                               D
IF THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULDNŽT THEN I WOULD
                   Esus2
MAN, BAD MUST MEAN GOOD
C            D              G
