verse 1 
Bbm        D#m 
I've got a broken heart and a broken smile 
       B 
When I fall I get up even if it takes a while 
D#m 
Seeking shelter in the ghost of Elvis 
    B                                  Fm       C# 
And all of the magic Michael left this world 
D#m 
And I ain't leaving even if I know that 
D#m 
Sometimes I drive on the wrong side 
B 
Somehow I'm terrified 
D#m                                           B 
Some days I will stray inside to cover that I've cried 
      C#               Bbm        D#m 
Being twice as sorry because I've lied 

Pre-Chorus 
Such a sad looking clown 
In a world upside down 
Astray in the alleys of this town 
There's but one little sun 
Where she can safely run 
When she comes undone 

Chorus 
Fm             G#        D#        Fm 
Oh baby let me stay your alley cat 
      C#              D# 
You're my wire to the light 
                                         Fm 
And my spark here in the still of the night 
                    G#        D# 
So baby let me stay where I'm at 
        G#     C#      D# 
In your sight I always feel alright 

Repeat First Riff 

verse 2 
G#m                         
I'm right where I don't want to be 
           E 
And it's a mystery 
                          G#m 
How the will to fit in is making me 
               E 
A hole in history 
                   D#        G         G#m 
And as long as I'm alive I won't be free 
D#m                          
Sometimes I'm left on the outside 
B 
Somehow I got no pride 
D#m                         B 
Some days I am trying to survive when I collide 
       C#           Bbm     D#m          
Win an empty Jackie by my side 

Pre-Chorus 
Such a sad looking clown 
In a world upside down 
Astray in the alleys of this town 
There's but one little sun 
Where she can safely run 
When she comes undone 

Chorus 
Oh baby let me stay your alley cat 
You're my wire to the light 
And my spark here in the still of the night 
Oh baby let me stay where I'm at 
In your sight I always feel alright 

Solo 

Bridge 
D# 
G#m         C#        G#m 
Why me? I'm trying to find 
            E         F#      G#m 
A way to erase and rewind 

Help me face my fears 
F#           G#m 
Stay pulling strings my dear 

Rule me like a puppeteer 

F#
