[Intro]
G Bm Em Am Em D x2
[Verse 1]
G Bm What this night wants is what it gets Em Strung in silken knots Am Em Lit by cigarettes flaring side by side D With the streets all wet
[Verse 2]
G As the only thing that's bright Bm Em And I don't need to cross that bridge Am Em D I find I'm swinging or sailing over the pit tonight G I'm hanging from a hit tonight Bm Em Am Em D Was wild enough to order up and toss across my lips
[Verse 3]
C D G What's making all my tears Bm Em Am Is taking all my fears away D But I don't need to cry G Because now I'm clear
[Instrumental]
Bm Em Am Em D
[Verse 4]
G Bm A moth that's swerving through the sage Em A creature crashing from a cage Am Em D A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray
[Verse 5]
C A day she spends the night D And I can hear her sighing G Bm Em As she's almost asleep on one side Am Em I lie back on my pillow D G And ask what her husband is like
[Instrumental]
Bm Em Am Em D
[Verse 6]
G And she says, "I smile polite Bm And I tip and tithe Em And I see the sights with a well-trained eye Am But I calmly cry Em D Because I'm too much mine without him
[Verse 7]
G Bm And I lie, reclined where the room is quiet Em And it's quiet at night
The soft silk is fine
Am And the waves are white Em D But the wind has died without him
[Verse 8]
G And I scream my smiles Bm Em And I want my wires and I need my stripes Am And I read the lines until I lid my eyes Em D And I'm losing time without him
[Verse 9]
And she says
G And I ignite inside Bm And I flash with fire Em And I limp from life
And I'm blazing blind
Am And I'm surging live Em D And give up my mind
When with him
[Verse 10]
C D And then every dream inside G Bm Em Turns to flames, fades to grey and is dying Am Em And the smoke rises into D G A white, blank, bare, broke-open sky
[Outro]
Bm Em Am Em D
