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 Instrumental 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 Outro Bm Em Am Em D
