(Ab/Eb DbDb)

DbDb                  GbGb     DbDb
There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
                           GbGb   Db/F
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
Eb MajorEb                      AbAb GbGb
Away in the distance there's a blue flashing light
BbmBbm         GbGb     DbDb
Someone's in trouble somewhere tonight
    Gb/Db   DbDb     AbAb    GbGb
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
  EbmEbm    DbDb     AbAb     BbmBbm
The wind blows away all of yesterday's news

(Ab/C DbDb)
(AbAb BbmBbm)
(F minorFm GbGb)
(Ab/Eb DbDb)

Well they've locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches
They always could find us but they never could catch us
Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe
We watched the arrested get taken away
And that cigarette haze has ecology heat
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street

F7F7                        BbmBbm  Db/Ab
'Cause the steams in the boiler, the coals in the fire
GbGb              Ab7Ab7     DbDb
If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired
F7F7                     BbmBbm Db/Ab
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
EbmEbm          GbGb     Ab7Ab7
Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died
