Hanging From A Hit

	  		
Intro: G Bm Em Am Em D (x2) 

verse 1 
      G                  Bm 
What this night wants is what it gets 
          Em 
Strung in silken knots 
                   Am              Em 
Lit by cigarettes flaring side by side 
         D 
With the streets all wet 

verse 2 
                         G 
As the only thing that's bright 
            Bm                 Em 
And I don't need to cross that bridge 
                        Am      Em       D 
I find I'm swinging or sailing over the pit tonight 
                   G 
I'm hanging from a hit tonight 
    Bm                   Em                     Am  Em  D 
Was wild enough to order up and toss across my lips 

verse 3 
C                    D     G 
What's making all my tears 
   Bm            Em      Am 
Is taking all my fears away 
       Em           D 
But I don't need to cry 
                G 
Because now I'm clear 

Instrumental: Bm Em Am Em D 

verse 4 
  G                    Bm 
A moth that's swerving through the sage 
  Em 
A creature crashing from a cage 
  Am          Em         D 
A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray 

Verse 5 
                     C 
A day she spends the night 
                    D 
And I can hear her sighing 
          G        Bm         Em 
As she's almost asleep on one side 
       Am            Em 
I lie back on my pillow 
     D                       G 
And ask what her husband is like

Bm Em Am Em D 

Verse 6 
                 G 
And she says, "I smile polite 
      Bm 
And I tip and tithe 
      Em 
And I see the sights with a well-trained eye 
             Am 
But I calmly cry 
                Em        D 
Because I'm too much mine without him 

Verse 7 
      G                       Bm 
And I lie, reclined where the room is quiet 
          Em 
And it's quiet at night 

The soft silk is fine 
        Am 
And the waves are white 
        Em       D 
But the wind has died without him 

Verse 8 
       G 
And I scream my smiles 
       Bm                 Em 
And I want my wires and I need my stripes 
                             Am 
And I read the lines until I lid my eyes 
        Em          D 
And I'm losing time without him 

Verse 9 

And she says 
       G 
And I ignite inside 
      Bm 
And I flash with fire 
      Em 
And I limp from life 

And I'm blazing blind 
         Am 
And I'm surging live 
     Em             D 
And give up my mind 

When with him 

verse 10 
         C           D 
And then every dream inside 
         G                 Bm         Em 
Turns to flames, fades to grey and is dying 
        Am          Em 
And the smoke rises into 
   D                             G 
A white, blank, bare, broke-open sky
