[Intro]
G Bm Em Am Em D x2
[Verse 1]
G Bm
What this night wants is what it gets
Em
Strung in silken knots
Am Em
Lit by cigarettes flaring side by side
D
With the streets all wet
[Verse 2]
G
As the only thing that's bright
Bm Em
And I don't need to cross that bridge
Am Em D
I find I'm swinging or sailing over the pit tonight
G
I'm hanging from a hit tonight
Bm Em Am Em D
Was wild enough to order up and toss across my lips
[Verse 3]
C D G
What's making all my tears
Bm Em Am
Is taking all my fears away
D
But I don't need to cry
G
Because now I'm clear
[Instrumental]
Bm Em Am Em D
[Verse 4]
G Bm
A moth that's swerving through the sage
Em
A creature crashing from a cage
Am Em D
A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray
[Verse 5]
C
A day she spends the night
D
And I can hear her sighing
G Bm Em
As she's almost asleep on one side
Am Em
I lie back on my pillow
D G
And ask what her husband is like
[Instrumental]
Bm Em Am Em D
[Verse 6]
G
And she says, "I smile polite
Bm
And I tip and tithe
Em
And I see the sights with a well-trained eye
Am
But I calmly cry
Em D
Because I'm too much mine without him
[Verse 7]
G Bm
And I lie, reclined where the room is quiet
Em
And it's quiet at night
The soft silk is fine
Am
And the waves are white
Em D
But the wind has died without him
[Verse 8]
G
And I scream my smiles
Bm Em
And I want my wires and I need my stripes
Am
And I read the lines until I lid my eyes
Em D
And I'm losing time without him
[Verse 9]
And she says
G
And I ignite inside
Bm
And I flash with fire
Em
And I limp from life
And I'm blazing blind
Am
And I'm surging live
Em D
And give up my mind
When with him
[Verse 10]
C D
And then every dream inside
G Bm Em
Turns to flames, fades to grey and is dying
Am Em
And the smoke rises into
D G
A white, blank, bare, broke-open sky
[Outro]
