[Verse]
F              C               G - Am
The city stays high, all night

F
Lit up and shivering

       C                         G - Am
Like a pinball table of fireflies

F                C                  G - Am
An echo of home, on the edge of life

F                            C
Shot through the veins of an angel

                    G - Am  G
I'm a devil in exile
[Chorus]
Dm                  F
But if you have forgotten

                     Am
Your precious mother tongue

                       G
What do you think your mother

                         Dm
Would say of what you've done?

                 F
And if you can't remember the place

           Am                      G
You call a home, or having trouble placing

                     Dm        Am G
Who's calling on the phone...
F C G - Am [Verse]
F                   C                      G - Am
Dip the nose of the car to the sugar lines

F
Out to the desert

      C                            G - Am
Under cinnamon hills and moonshine

F                   C                     G - Am
He said 'what can I do to make you mine?'

F                          C
Kiss out the twang from my lips

                      G - Am  G
On the way to big-time
[Chorus]
Dm                  F
But if you have forgotten

                     Am
Your precious mother tongue

                       G
What do you think your mother

                         Dm
Would say of what you've done?

                 F
And if you can't remember the place

           Am                      G
You call a home, or having trouble placing

                     Dm        Am G
Who's calling on the phone...
[Bridge] Dm F Am C
            F      Am
Forgot your mother tongue

            G      Dm
Forgot your mother tongue

            F      Am
Forgot your mother tongue

            G      Dm
Forgot your mother tongue
[Chorus]
Dm                  F
But if you have forgotten

                     Am
Your precious mother tongue

                       G
What do you think your mother

                         Dm
Would say of what you've done?

                 F
And if you can't remember the place

           Am                      G
You call a home, or having trouble placing

                     Dm       
Who's calling on the phone

Dm                  F
But if you have forgotten

                     Am
Your precious mother tongue

                       G
What do you think your mother

                         Dm
Would say of what you've done?

                 F
And if you can't remember the place

           Am                      G
You call a home, or having trouble placing

                     Dm      
Who's calling on the phone...
