F come on Bb come and dry your eyes GBb before the morning sun arrives
F kiss BbG everybody is a star BbF no matter who or what they are
Bb I could tell the truth G but what's the use BbC it's been abused by us
FBbF junk the junk love the love BbF it's a secret from above G* ain't it good Bb it's the drug that keeps us true G I've got to get some through to you Bb I got mine and I got you GBbC just for the two of us
F come on Bb come and dry your eyes GBb and watch the morning sun arrive
F kiss BbG everybody is a star BbF no matter who or what they are
Bb I could tell the truth G but what's the use BbC it's been abused by us
BbC until it shines G until it shines BbC I won't die
