verse 1 
                 Eb 
There were those same bloodsuckers in the lobby again and when they called my name I waved--

The publicist picked up lunch again, I had a Pabst and some pemmican, she said "Man you're so damn American."

Hotel lobby, late night TV, you're either up on the stage or you're down on your knees 
Eb 
Blood on my hands, ash in my wine, you can see how I get anxious sometimes 
Bb 
Nails in my hand, blood in my eyes, I feel pretty cool but I know I look fried 
Eb 
All these tall tales and one tiny truth, I saw the towers go down from up on Newmyer's roof 
Bb 
Yeah we were frightened, yeah we were drinking, it was all so confusing 
F                                                     Eb                            Bb 
Doubting Thomas went and talked to the cops, he said this sure seems like an inside job

Hotel bar, the game on TV, you're either up on the lights or you're out on the streets

We always want more but we get what we need, I saw your girl at the movies, she seems pretty sweet
