She came in from the desert and the dust
And now she's trying to stay afloat on a crazy sea of lust
It's hard to love a city when that city has no heart
It'll rape your mind and sell your body
It'll tear your soul apart, wow tear it apart
PRE-SOLO (power chords, continues into same riff section as before)
C5
'Cos when you scratch through the surface
D5 E5
You won't find a damn thing underneath
F5 B5 A5 G5
And everybody's moving on, that's why I believe
F5 (riff section)
It's an empty city, it's an empty city
SOLO (riff refers to same riff section as before, played only x2)
A5 riff A5 B5 C5 D5 [repeat intro]

Empty city, it's calling your name

Wheel of fortune, sucking you into the game
Cmaj7 F#m B* Am Bm
It's a fatal attraction that pulls you like a moth to the flame
C5 D5 Am Bm
'Til you've forgotten your name,
C5 D5 Am Bm
where the streets are lined with pain
C5 D5 riff section...
But I can't stay away

Well it's an empty city
Empty city
