[Intro]
Am Em F Am
Em F
[Verse]
Am Em
Come on down from your ledge
F Am
With your pretty wings spread
Em F
Fly me through the steel towered night
Am Em
When the cold air bites
F Am
When the alley cats fight
Em F
All the normals are shutting off their lights
Am Em
I'll hold tight to your Leia buns
F
Your pantyhose will start to run
Am Em F
But everybody's looking to the sky
Am Em E
Nighthawks coming alive
[Chorus]
Am
Let me in
Em
Let me in
F Am
Let me underneath your skin
Em F
Or it will break my little heart
Am
When the sun
Em
Slowly comes
F Am
to the east side of the slum
Em F Am
It's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart
Em F Am
Em F
[Verse]
Am Em
Now the west side is dim
F Am
Retrace the places you have been
Em F
sing it out like a vampire's hymn
Am Em
If he thinks it's a jinx
F Am
just a smile and a wink
Em F
will go a long, long way tonight
Am Em
oh I know that your little girl
F Am
Is sleeping in the other room
Em F
but everybody looks the other way
Am Em E
Nighthawks coming out to play
[Chorus]
Am
Let me in
Em
Let me in
F Am
Let me underneath your skin
Em F
Or it will break my little heart
Am
When the sun
Em
Slowly comes
F Am
to the east side of the slum
Em F Am
It's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart
Em F Am
Em F
[Verse]
Am Em
It's a quick buzz kill
F Am
So you pop another pill
Em F
Roll your eyes like it's so blasé
Am Em
She's a stunner, you're a taker
F Am
She's amused, she's a faker
Em F
and you like it that way
Am Em F Am Em F
baby, save me from myself
Am Em F Am Em F
baby, save me from myself
[Chorus]
Am
Let me in
Em
Let me in
F Am
Let me underneath your skin
Em F
Or it will break my little heart
Am
When the sun
Em
Slowly comes
F Am
to the east side of the slum
Em F Am
It's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart
Em F Am
Em F Am
It's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart
[Outro]
Em F
Am Em F
It's gonna break my little heart
Am
It's gonna break my heart
