Oh, Jessica WJ
G#m E
Playing bass riffs, 1998

In stories told
As Elizabeth, if you had only ever known
[Chorus 1]

Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ
I don't know why I kept
G#m
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away
See I like you but

Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
G#m
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)

I'm moonwalking like an Eskimo
Singing oh, oh, oh (yuh!)

We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go

I got a map and rolled down the windows

She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Chorus 2]
E
We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go

I got a map and rolled down the windows

Now all that's left is the fall
But the feeling doesn't die
