"Vicious"

You hit me with a flower
    C            D    C  G
You do it every hour
           C         D      C  G  C
Ohh, baby you're so vicious

Verse 2:

Vicious
You want me to hit you with a stick
But all I've got's a guitar pick

A
You're not the kind of person
G                      D   C    D
                       / / / /  /
Around whom I want to stay

Em    F#m              G

You must think I'm some kinda gay blade

                     / / / /  /
But baby, you're so vicious

Chorus 2:

When I watch you comin'
I just have to run
You're not good and you certainly aren't very much fun
When I see you walkin' down the street
I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
'Cause you're so vicious

Coda [repeat main riff to fade]:

Vicious
Vicious...
