Gm                            Eb
Turn the lights up baby gonna close my eyes
                                F
Don't want to see the situation out of disguise
Gm            Eb                 F
I run my fingers down the scar
Gm                                  Eb
I breathe it in like air I drink it down like wine
       Cm                     Eb
Then I sit and I stare at the scene of the crime
         Gm                    Eb
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
       Cm               Eb
It's a fragile wire the memory trips
Gm                         Eb
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind
          Cm                 Eb
There's a crawlspace  in my head that I find
Gm                 Eb
The fire burns hot the river runs wild
Cm                           Eb                 F   Eb
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child
Gm                            Eb
The night stands at attention just to watch and wait
                              F
Like it came to see if I was gonna break
Gm                  Eb                    F
You hold  me up you fold me up like paper
Gm                        Eb
In the naked city where we wear it like skin
Cm                        Eb
Come on baby it's such an unoriginal sin
         Gm                    Eb
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
       Cm               Eb
It's a fragile wire the memory trips
Gm                         Eb
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind
         Cm                 Eb
There's a crawlspace  in my head that I find
Gm                 Eb
The fire burns hot the river runs wild
Cm                           Eb                   F   Eb
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child
Cm                          Bb              Gm
There is an edge there is a blade that's so sharp
Eb          Bb           Eb           Gm
Baby it can separate the soul from the heart

SOLO

Gm                         Eb
You don't use a gun I gave you what you steal
                                         F
If you don't ride this train you're underneath the wheel
Gm             Eb         F
I'm too emotional for this
                                 Eb
So rock it up now baby but don't look down
Cm                                    Eb
Let's just make it good-bye I'm gonna leave this town
         Gm                    Eb
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
       Cm               Eb
It's a fragile wire the memory trips
Gm                         Eb
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind
         Cm                 Eb
There's a crawlspace  in my head that I find
Gm                 Eb
The fire burns hot the river runs wild
Cm                           Eb                   F   Eb
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child
         Gm                    Eb
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
       Cm               Eb
It's a fragile wire the memory trips
Gm                         Eb
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind
         Cm                 Eb
There's a crawlspace  in my head that I find
Gm                 Eb
The fire burns hot the river runs wild
Cm                           Eb                  Gm  Eb Cm  Gm
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child
