Christmas eve    he's born again

       E             A
On the line a broken train

Going nowhere    endless rain

Birthday boy so afraid

Plays the machines    in the arcade

Oh baby do you remember

                  A
He's been through all this before

Spent the summer    getting nowhere

Taking all of the blame for the city

Calculating    from pain comes pity

This time around it's all a mistake

        G#m   C#m           B
Is he deluded     or just a fake

Oh baby do you remember

As the drama's     about to start

A quick betrayal, a speedy trial
