(repeat same pattern)
D            C      D      C D         C     D      C
Melting in a pot of thieves, wild card up my sleeve

  People said beware,   but I don't care
Their words are just rules and regulations to 
D ////////   
Me 
D ////////

\[Verse 1\] 
   D//      C// repeat       
I walk in a room, you know I look so proud  
I move in this here atmosphere where anything's allowed  
Then I go to this here party and I just get bored  
Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing  
Humping on a parking meter, leaning on the parking meter  
Oh, she looks so good  
Oh, she looks so fine  
And I've got this crazy feeling that I'm going to, ah-ah, make her mine

\[Verse 2\]
D// C// etc.  
Oh, I'll put my spell on her, here she comes  
Walking down the street, here she comes  
Coming through my door, here she comes  
Crawling up my stair, here she comes  
Waltzing through the hall in a pretty red dress
And oh, she looks so good  
Oh, she looks so fine  
And I've got this crazy feeling that I'm going to, ah-ah, make her mine  



[Verse 3] 
D // C // etc etc. 
Then I hear this knocking on my door, hear this knocking on my door  
And I look up to the big tower clock and say "oh my God, it's midnight"  
And my baby is walking through the door laying on my couch  
She whispers to me and I take the big plunge  
And oh, she was so good  
And oh, she was so fine  
And I'm going to tell the world that I just, ah-ah, made her mine  
  
[Pre-Chorus]  
And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name  
She whispered to me, she told me her name  
And her name is, and her name is  
And her name is, and her name is

[Verse 4]  
I was at the stadium  
There were twenty thousand girls  
Called their names out to me, Marie, Ruth, but to tell you the truth  
I didn't hear them, I didn't see  
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock  
And I heard those bells chiming in my heart going  
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong  
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong  
Calling the time when you came to my room  
And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge  
And oh, you were so good  
Oh, you were so fine  
And I've got to tell the world that I made ya mine, made ya mine
Made her mine made ya mine made her mine made ya mine  

[Chorus]  
G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A
  
[Bridge]  
When the tower bells chime  
Ding-dong they chime  
I said that 
Jesus died  
For somebody's sins  
But not mine
