But for the thrill until I'm spent

(Paint the black hole blacker)
 G           A
(Paint the black hole blacker)

 G          A
(Paint the black hole blacker)
D       A       Em       A
Playboys under the mattress, like I wouldn't notice
 G          Em
(Paint the black hole blacker)
 G           A    A
(Paint the black hole blacker)

What do I keep from all the strangers who sleep where I sleep?

Desperate don't look good on you, neither does your virtue

What do I share?
