B7/D# E minorEm C majorC Em/B
When you walk home from the party
A minorAm E minorEm B7(addC)
Drunk on bacardi and listening
B7/D# E minorEm C majorC Em/B
To the voices that lie to you nightly
A minorAm E minorEm |B5B5 C5C5 G5G5 (repeat)|
Make you frightened of everyone
When you walk home from the party
Drunk on bacardi and listening
To the voices that lie to you nightly
B7(addC)
Make you sorry for something
You go home and spend your life alone with the stereo
Watching the late show; or force yourself
Out in the night to meet your generation
BB B/A# D#D# G# minorG#m D#D# G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
You feel like claymation in fluorescent light
BB B/A# D#D# G# minorG#m
On our knees, we made it hard to see
D#D# G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
We made it hard to breathe and the air was thin
Coda: ...C#m E5E5 B5.
