verse 1:
E     B      C#m
All of the stage names evaporate
        A         E       B
And it's just a blood-flushed and heart-rushing race
     F#m     E    C#m       A
Either to kick off too soon or stick around too late
               B
To be far too dear or too cut-rate


verse 2:
    F#m          B
Hold my hand again like at the lake
     F#m          B
Hold that mirror, babe, up to my face
     F#m        B
Hear the whippoorwill? Am I breathing still?

verse 3:
 E     B    C#m              A     E       B
A Hollywood Babylon bike-a-thon for break-dancers all broken down in their beds
A  E       B     A      E     B
Now intravenously fed from a bag hanging over their heads
       F#m               B
Can I put you down for some miles? What do you say?
        F#m                B
Cause don't you know it's going to be a long, long way
       F#m            B
But if you've got the cash, I'm ready to bust my ass

Repeat Intro:

E B C#m
A E B
F#m E C#m A

verse 4:
  E        B      C#m
So take this thin, broken-down circus clown reject
  A      E     B
And give her the name of a queen
    A       E    B
Don't I know her from the mezzanine?
         A      E      B
Well, she didn't look like no princess to me


verse 5:
       F#m     B
But with the proper words bestowed
       F#m
And with her morning shoot
        B
And her evening clothes
         F#m
Don't call her a prostitute
         B
She ain't one of those
        F#m            B
Just call her a proper little statue come unfroze

Repeat Intro:

E B C#m
A E B
F#m E C#m A
