Every street is

Dark and folding

Out mysteriously

Well that's the chance we take

To be always working

Reaching out for

E                    Ebm
A hand that we can't see

Everybody's got a hold on hope

         F#                 B          G#m 
It's the last thing that’s holding me
[Verse]

Invitation to the last dance

And then its time to leave

That's the price we pay when we deceive
One another

Animal mother

E                 Ebm
She opens up for free

Look at the talk box

In mute frustration

At the station

E     F#         G      A
There hides the cowboy
[Solo] B C#m E Ebm E F# B [Chorus 2]
A
Look at the talk box

Ebm
In mute frustration 

E
At the station

E     F#         G     A
There hides the cowboy
[Bridge] His campfire flickering
G#m               E    
On the landscape
[Verse]

But nothing grows on

But time still goes on

Through each life of misery

It's the last thing that’s holding me
