Intro: D# Fm Cm (2x)
A#
D# Fm Cm
This town bleeds like an open wound
Cm A# D#
You found no peace in a rented room
D# Fm Cm
And every brick sings a different tune
Cm A# D#
Either kissed or cried on every avenue
D# Fm Cm
Well as she steals an hour from the darkest night
Cm A# D#
Wraps it up in gold and gives me some light
D# Fm Cm
奏il there's nothing but shivers going down my spine
Cm A# D#
Rather wake for an hour than sleep for a lifetime
D# Fm Cm
Well I make my way through the rain torn street
Cm A# D#
Past the drunks and their pieces of meat
D# Fm Cm
The alcohol now clouds their minds
Cm A# D#
Souls are wishing for closing time
Cm A# D#
And the coat she bought is bound to keep me warm
Cm A# G#
Buttons are hanging off, sleeves are torn
Cm A# D#
The wind outside howls like a newborn
D# Fm Cm (2x)

D# Fm Cm
Please tell me why I知 here before you tell me to stay
Cm A# D#
The big bang doesn稚 care if I pray
D# Fm Cm
Well I could fill my time in a million ways
Cm A# D#
Put a little bit of sunshine in my day
D# Fm Cm
There痴 still a swing on the old oak tree
Cm A# D#
Where we used to play, my brother and me
D# Fm Cm
And sometimes I feel like going home
Cm A# D#
But home is a childhood memory
D# Fm Cm
Well I cried a tear when I heard the news
Cm A# D#
Really nothing that I could say or do
D# Fm Cm
It痴 the hardest lesson I ever learned
Cm A# D#
Light a candle just to watch it burn
Cm A# D#
So you get caught up in a raging winter storm
Cm A# G#
All the lights are off and the curtains are drawn
Cm A# D#
You can live like a king but you die like a newborn

D# Fm Cm
Well I rolled a take me from place to place
Cm A# D#
Gonna let this hair grow from my face
D# Fm Cm
And where I知 bound I cannot tell
Cm A# D#
If you believe the bible then I知 bound for hell
D# Fm Cm
Well I got a lover now she got me
Cm A# D#
She knows a place inside my dreams
D# Fm Cm
If I sell this ring it値l make me sad
Cm A# D#
I値l buy me a brand new sleeping bag
D# D#/D Cm
There痴 a map of the stars on her chest
G# A# D#
There痴 a universe sitting behind her eyes
D# D#/D Cm
But I値l meet you at 6 after some rest
G# A# D#
We値l get paid, we値l get drunk and we値l get by
Cm A# D#
Chase the sunset until the morning
Cm A# G#
We値l sleep through a thousand world wars
Cm A# D#
And I値l smile like a widow but cry like a newborn
