Intro:
Am E  Am  Am E  Am
Am E  Am  Am E  Am

Verse 1:

   Am                 Fmaj7    E
The white hand in the darkened house


Dm                C6                          Am             E  Am
Rings a bell that makes the guests drop their cases in fright


  Am                    Fmaj7 E
A face that seems to laugh alone

Dm                      C6              Am                 E  Am
Sits in the flames that warm the frozen stretches of night


Bridge 1:

    C                         Dm
The skeleton that smokes, his head half guillotined


   E                            F
Sits there telling jokes, about places he has cleaned


Chorus:

      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?


     Bb        F            Am    E  Am  Am E  Am
What kicks! It sticks! Loud ticks


Verse 2:

   Am               Fmaj7   E
The bow tie and the question mark


   Dm                C6                         Am          E  Am
Set sail to beat the cards that rain around the chorus girls


    Am                 Fmaj7 E
The bullets from the golden gun


  Dm          C6                               Am    E  Am
Appear to penetrate the flesh below the golden curls


Bridge 2:

  C                                Dm
Inside the clear white box, lies a nervous bathing belle


    E                                 F
She hope's he'll find the locks, that free her from the world


Chorus:

      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?


     Bb        F            Am   E  Am  Am E  Am
What kicks! It sticks! Loud ticks


Verse 3:

   Am               Fmaj7  E
The rabbit with the faded smile


  Dm                 C6                   Am           E  Am
Is listening to the artist playing in the mirrored room


   Am            Fmaj7  E
The albums of forgotten songs


     Dm           C6                                    Am    E  Am
Grow dusty in the floodlit shelves somewhere below the moon


Bridge 3:

C                           D
Owls sit on the letters, of his last name in lights


E                             F
 Demons and pacesetters, they laugh into the night


Chorus:

      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?


     Bb        F
What kicks! It sticks!


      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?


     Bb        F
What kicks! It sticks!


      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?


     Bb        F
What kicks! It sticks!


      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?


     Bb        F
What kicks! It sticks!
