Verse 1:
         D                                     C                G/B 
When the sun peeks up behind the mountains and casts an orange glow 
D                                         A 
It don't quite wash out the sight of the neon lights below 
          D 
I've been here three days but I've got to say 
         C               G/B 
It feels more like thirty-five 
        D 
I keep meaning to learn my lesson 
          A            G 
But this happens every time

Verse 2:
     D                           C               G/B 
I'm down to my last twenty with nothing much to show 
        D                                     A 
But an empty chair and a desperate prayer for bullets in the hole 
          D 
When the cards are dealt across the felt 
       C                 G/B 
These eyes go black and cold 
    D 
My last chip's in the middle 
      A 
It's too late now to fold 


         G 
She's a Siren on a cliff's edge 
         D 
And I'm speeding towards the rocks 
          A 
Might be headed for disaster 
             G               D 
But I can't shut this engine off 
         D 
And the lights and lies of nights gone by 
          C          G/B 
Have now faded into truth 
        D                    A 
She's a devil in the desert 
           G             D 
And she's gonna get her due

Verse 3:
      D                          C          G/B 
Yeah I'm a willing victim and my memory is short 
       D                                      A 
It's a battleground and this time around I'm settling the score 
         D 
When she gives me hell I should tuck my tail 
C               G/B 
Turn around and run 
            D 
But I ain't one for good decisions 
          A 
When the bad ones are this much fun 

 
         G 
She's a Siren on a cliff's edge 
         D 
And I'm speeding towards the rocks 
          A 
Might be headed for disaster 
             G               D 
But I can't shut this engine off 
         D 
And the lights and lies of nights gone by 
          C          G/B 
Have now faded into truth 
        D                    A 
She's a devil in the desert 
           G             D 
And she's gonna get her due
