C G F G
[Verse 1]
Bb F C G C I'm an elevator kid pushing buttons when I wanna go home Bb F C G C But my generation hasn't even got a name of its own Am Bbsus2 We just buy what the TV sells F Bbsus2 And almost never stop wishing we were somebody else Gm Am But tonight in the dark I can be myself
[Chorus]
C Am Em When Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play F G We'll make 'em stay, we'll make 'em play C Am Em Play 'til the stars all fade F G We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn C Am F Make 'em play all night 'til the light like we'vе never seen nothin' G C Like wе'll never see anybody ever again Am Em When the Rat-Kings go away F G We'll never be the same
[Verse 2]
Bb F C G C Z tried to edit Reddit, instead it said it had eaten her phone Bb F C G C She goes from tinder to cinder 'til she remembers she's a flame of her own Am Bbsus2 You can almost lose your heart F Bbsus2 Hoping for something better 'til it tears you apart Gm Am While the days get longer and this night won't start
[Chorus]
C Am Em But when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play F G We'll make 'em stay, we'll make 'em play C Am Em Play 'til the stars all fade F G We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn C Am F Make 'em play all night 'til the light like we'vе never seen nothin' G C Like wе'll never see anybody ever again Am Em When the Rat-Kings go away F G C G F We'll never be the same again G C G F G Oh, again
[Verse 3]
C Am Now Joey's gotta run for the train F G Says he's trying to make it back to the city by ten C Am And Mike's on his bike with the motor running F G I told him trains were running all night right then C Am In the moonlit town after the bridge fell down F G There were fires and we lost some power C Am So we all dressed up for the ramble F G And ran those streets long past the witching hour
[Bridge]
Am Bb I saw Dorothy in drag F Bb Taking the Tin Man for a ride Gm Bb Csus4 C And then Z the Cat said she knew where to go Am Bb Then she kissed me without a thought F Bb Said "Sometimes memories are all that we got Gm Bb C So come on, boy, let's make some at the show"
[Verse 4]
Bb F C G C So there's some leather-wrapped Fender-strapped kid with a pick-finger twitch Bb F C G C He's got a recipe for radio or rain, I don't know which Am Bbsus2 In the shadows when the lights are dowsed F Bbsus2 The cinder kids flare while they twist and shout Gm Am We're the sparks in the dark that'll never go out
[Chorus]
C Am Em So when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play F G We'll make 'em stay, we'll make 'em play C Am Em Play 'til the stars all fade F G We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn C Am F Make 'em play all night 'til the light like we'vе never seen nothin' G C Like wе'll never see anybody ever again Am Em When the Rat-Kings go away F G We'll never be the same again
[Post-Chorus]
C So say hey, when the Rat-Kings Em F G When the Rat-Kings, when the Rat-Kings go away C Say hey, when the Rat-Kings Am Em G When the Rat-Kings, when the Rat-Kings go away C Am Say when the Rat-Kings go (When the Rat-Kings go) F G When they go away (When they go away) C Am Em Say hey, when the Rat-Kings go away F G C G F G We'll never be the same again
[Outro]
