[Intro]
G Bm Em Am Em D x2
[Verse 1]
What tGhis night wants is Bmwhat it gets
Strung in Emsilken knots
Lit by cigarettes fAmlaring side by sEmide
With the Dstreets all wet
[Verse 2]
As the only thing that's Gbright
And I don't Bmneed to cross that Embridge
I find I'm swinging or sAmailing oEmver the pDit tonight
I'm hanging from a Ghit tonight
Was Bmwild enough to Emorder up and toss across Ammy lips Em D
[Verse 3]
CWhat's making all my Dtears G
Is Bmtaking all my Emfears awAmay
But I don't need to Dcry
Because now I'm Gclear
[Instrumental]
Bm Em Am Em D
[Verse 4]
A Gmoth that's swerving Bmthrough the sage
A Emcreature crashing from a cage
A Amshadow vaporEmized by a nDew sun ray
[Verse 5]
A day she spends the Cnight
And I can hear her sDighing
As she's aGlmost aslBmeep on one Emside
I lie bAmack on my pillEmow
And aDsk what her husband is lGike
[Instrumental]
Bm Em Am Em D
[Verse 6]
And she says, "I Gsmile polite
And I Bmtip and tithe
And I Emsee the sights with a well-trained eye
But I cAmalmly cry
Because I'm Emtoo much mineD without him
[Verse 7]
AGnd I lie, reclined where the Bmroom is quiet
And it's qEmuiet at night
The soft silk is fine
And the Amwaves are white
But the Emwind has dieDd without him
[Verse 8]
And I sGcream my smiles
And I wBmant my wires and I Emneed my stripes
And I read the lines until I Amlid my eyes
And I'm Emlosing time Dwithout him
[Verse 9]
And she says
And I iGgnite inside
And I Bmflash with fire
And I Emlimp from life
And I'm blazing blind
And I'm sAmurging live
And gEmive up my mind D
When with him
[Verse 10]
And then Cevery dream inDside
Turns to Gflames, fades to gBmrey and is Emdying
And the Amsmoke rises Eminto
A wDhite, blank, bare, broke-open Gsky
[Outro]
Bm Em Am Em D
