[Verse]
G D5
Wonder at the scarlet avenger
D5 C Em Am
Who tore out all my vitals
Am B/G C D5
Washed them pink and clean
D5 C Em
Never did I see such an ugly confession
C Em Am
Sprung from my lips and met with open arms
D5 C Em C Em
Such a prize must be showered with better than 'never sure'
C Em
No I'm owing more
Am C
It's a shot of neon crimson to the brain
[Verse]
G D5
Lost sight in the streets of Manhattan
D5 C Em Am
Walked alone through the George Square
Am B/G C D5
Down the old fifth avenue
D5 C Em
Never had I felt more alone in the big lights
C Em Am C
I almost told you I wasn't coming home
D5 C Em
And all the buildings were hiding my view of
C Em C Em
Where I'm from and what I want
Am C
It's a shot of neon crimson to the brain
[Verse]
G D5
Taste me, it's not wrong to embrace me
C Em Am
I know I seem like a stranger
Am B/G C
Like a song you used to sing
D5 C
But here I, here I stand at your feet
Em C Em
And you're finding words to say
Am C
But the only thing that matters anyway
Am C
Is a shot of neon crimson to the brain
