Chords with lyrics
FF 
C majorC G-Am
The city stays high, all night
FF
Lit up and shivering
C majorC G-Am
Like a pinball table of fireflies
FF C majorC G-Am
An echo of home, on the edge of life
FF C majorC
Shot through the veins of an angel
G-AM 
G+G
I'm a devil in exile
D MajorD FF
But if you have forgotten
AM
Your precious mother tongue
G+G
What do you think your mother
D MajorD
Would say of what you've done?
FF
And if you can't remember the place
A minorAm G+G
You call a home, or having trouble placing
D MajorD A minorAm G+G
Who's calling on the phone...
FF C majorC G-AM
FF C majorC G-Am
Dip the nose of the car to the sugar lines
FF
Out to the desert
C majorC G-Am
Under cinnamon hills and moonshine
FF C majorC G-Am
He said 'what can I do to make you mine?'
FF C majorC
Kiss out the twang from my lips
G-Am G+G
On the way to big-time
D MajorD FF
But if you have forgotten
AM
Your precious mother tongue
G+G
What do you think your mother
D MajorD
Would say of what you've done?
FF
And if you can't remember the place
A minorAm G+G
You call a home, or having trouble placing
D MajorD A minorAm G+G
Who's calling on the phone...
