You can play the B chord as a B7 if its easier to you
           Em                B
The ponies run, the girls are young,

             Em                Em
The odds are there to beat.

          Em                   B
You win a while, and then it's done

            C
Your little winning streak.

             Am     B
And summoned now to deal

         Em      D      C#dim
With your invincible defeat,

              Am              B
You live your life as if it's real,

C           D      Em
 A Thousand Kisses Deep.

            Em                  B
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,

            Em                  Em
I'm back on Boogie Street.

              Em                 B
You lose your grip, and then you slip

          C
Into the Masterpiece.

          Am          B
And maybe I had miles to drive,

Em         D      C#dim
 And promises to keep:

             Am          B
You ditch it all to stay alive,

C           D      Em
 A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Em B Em Em Em B C C
              Am                B
And sometimes when the night is slow,

Em         D           C#dim
 The wretched and the meek,

          Am            B
We gather up our hearts and go,

C          D      Em
 A Thousand Kisses Deep.

            Em               B
Confined to sex, we pressed against

           Em              Em
The limits of the sea:

            Em        B
I saw there were no oceans left

Em         D         C
 For scavengers like me.

          Am             B
I made it to the forward deck.

Em             D          C#dim
 I blessed our remnant fleet

             Am           B
And then consented to be wrecked,

C           D      Em
 A Thousand Kisses Deep.

            Em                  B
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,

            Em                  Em
I'm back on Boogie Street.

             Em             B
I guess they won't exchange the gifts

              C
That you were meant to keep.

          Am              B
And quiet is the thought of you,

Em         D           C#dim
 The file on you complete,

            Am          B
Except what we forgot to do,

C           D      C
 A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Em B Em Em Em B C C
              Am                B
And sometimes when the night is slow,

Em         D           C
 The wretched and the meek,

          Am            B
We gather up our hearts and go,

C          D      Em
 A Thousand Kisses Deep.

           Em                B
The ponies run, the girls are young,

             Em                Em
The odds are there to beat.

          Em                   B
You win a while, and then it's done

            C
Your little winning streak.

             Am     B
And summoned now to deal

         Em      D      C#dim
With your invincible defeat,

              Am              B
You live your life as if it's real,

C           D      Em
 A Thousand Kisses Deep.
