song called 'Vicious'."]

Huh... baby you're so vicious

Bridge 1:

When I watch you come
G D C G D

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

Em F#m G

Em F#m G
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet

Oh, baby, you're so vicious

[Guitar solo over main riff]

D C G D
/ / / / /
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...
