Bm7 Bm7/F# G7 Oh, when they beat ...upon a broken guitar, Bm7 Bm7/F# G7 And all the streets, they reek of tropical charms, Bm7 Bm7/F# G7 The embas - sies ...lie in hideous shards, Bb7 A7 Where tourists snore and de - cay
[Verse 2]
Bm7 Bm7/F# G7 Oh, when they dance ...in a reptile blaze, Bm7 Bm7/F# You wear a mask, G7 Bm7 Bm7/F# An equa - torial haze, into the past, G7 Bb7 A7 A colonial maze, where there's no more confetti to throw
[Chorus]
G#m7 C#9 G#m7 You wouldn't know what to say to your - self, C#9 F#m7 Love is a poverty you couldn't sell, B9 E7 G7 F#7 Misery waits in vague ho - tels ...to be evict - ed

Bm7 Bm7/F# G7 Bm7 Oh, and now you've had your fun, Bm7/F# G7 Bm7 Bm7/F# Under an air-conditioned sun, G7 Bm7 It's burned into your eyes, Bm7/F# G7 Bm7 Bm7/F# Leaves you plain and left be - hind, G7 Bb7 I'll see them rise and fall... A7 G#m7 ...Into the jaws of a pestilent love
[Chorus]
