Verse 2:
     Dm          G          Dm         G
There's a thin white cold new moon and the snow is coming down
     Dm          G          Dm         G
And the neon bright Tokyo lights flicker through the crowd
     Dm          G          Dm         G
I've been drifting around for hours and I'm lost and I am tired
     Dm          G              Dm         G
When a whisper in my ear  insatiable breathes  "why don't you follow me inside?"

Yeah I've been seeing them strip to the bone in the mirror on the wall
  Dm         G              Dm         G
Seeing her swallow him whole like it's not me at all
    Dm          G             Dm        G
She holds out her hands and I follow her down to my knees
     Dm         G         Dm       G
And the sucking inside insatiable smiles "you will forget yourself in me"

And in the blood red Tokyo bed I watch me coming down
     Dm       G           Dm       G
She pulled him down for hours deeper than I've ever been
     Dm          G                  Dm         G
