VERSE 1
G F# Bm
Come my darlin come my love
C G D
We'll go down in the ruined world
G F#
Of stripmall cigarettes
Em Bm C G D
Rubber gloves and California girls
Bm Em
In every corner of every car
C Am7
There's a coal grey couple curled
G F# Em Bm
The people make love the way they can
C D G
Down in the ruined world
VERSE 2
So come my angel come my prize
We'll go down in the ruined world
Don't veil you face don't hide your eyes
See the oil in the water swirl
The scents enough to spin your head
But oh how the colors whirl
We settle for beauty sunk in chains
down in the ruined world
BRIDGE
And with a
C
Lonely kind
G
Of Heartbreak
C
We look around
G
Do a double-take
C
Is it Babylon or
D
Eden in a mist
There's no way of knowing
BRIDGE 2
Is the world
Just a black hole
Or eternities great goal
I felt sure our
Names were on the list
But where are we going
C G D
Down in the ruined world
There's no way of knowing
C G D
Down in the ruined world
G
Down in the ruined world
G F# Em
So come my darling come my dear
C G D
We'll go down in the ruined world
G F# Em Bm
where the answers are forever near
C G D
and they're real as cultured pearls
Bm Em
If the world is where the eyes can see
C B Am7
Then god's a pretty girl
G F# Em Bm
And the only freedom is to give
C D G
Down in the ruined world
Down in the ruined world
Down in the ruined world
Down in the ruined world
