Intro GFCFC

G              F              C                     F  C
Does she walk? Does she talk?Does she come complete?
G                      F           C                     F  C
My homeroom homeroom angel Always pulled me from my seat
G                 F              C                   F  C
She was pure like snowflakes No one could ever stain
G                  F           C                 F  C
The memory of my angel Could never cause me pain
Em                                  Am          
Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
      G                               D
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between

G              F        C         F         C
My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold
G                F           C             F   C
My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold
(Repeat)

G                  F                  C                F         C
Slipped me notes under the desk While I was thinkin' about her dress
G              F          C                     F  C
I was shy I turned away Before she caught my eye
G              F              C                         F  C
I was shakin' in my shoes Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
G              F                  C                  F  C
Something had a hold on me When angel passed close by
Em                                  Am          
Those soft and fuzzy sweaters Too magical to touch
      G                               D
Too see her in that negligee Is really just too much

G              F        C         F         C
My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold
G                F           C             F   C
My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold
(Repeat)

G            F               C                F         C
It's okay I understand This ain't no never-never land
G                       F                  C                F         C
I hope that when this issue's gone I'll see you when your clothes are on
G              F                  C                F         C
Take you car, Yes we will We'll take your car and drive it
G                  F               C                F         C
We'll take it to a motel room And take 'em off in private
Em                                     Am 
A part of me has just been ripped The pages from my mind are stripped
   G                         D
Oh no, I can't deny it Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it! 

G              F        C         F         C
My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold
G                F           C             F   C
My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold
(Repeat x2)

Centerfold

About this song: Centerfold

"Centerfold" was a single released by The J. Geils Band from their album Freeze Frame. The song is about a man who is shocked to discover that his high school crush appeared in a centerfold spread for a male-oriented magazine. The song could be a reference to actress Angel Tompkins' relationship with Peter Wolf. It was released in autumn 1981, and eventually went to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in February 1982, and stayed there for six weeks. It was the first single released from the album Freeze Frame and was an early staple on MTV.
