Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

G♯ C C♯ F/A A♯m F F♯ G♯ C C♯

Verse

C♯There was a face on a hoarding that F♯someone had C♯drawn on

And just enough time for the night to pass by without F♯warning C♯ F

D♯Away in the distance there's a blue G♯flashing light F♯

A♯mSomeone's in trouble G♯somewhere C♯tonight

As the F♯fliC♯ckering C♯neon stands G♯ready to F♯fuse

The F♯winC♯d blows C♯away all of G♯yesterday's A♯mnews

G♯ C C♯ F/A A♯m F F♯ G♯ C C♯

Verse

Well they've C♯locked up their daughters and they F♯battened the C♯hatches

They always could find us but they never could F♯catch us C♯ F

Through the D♯grease streaked windows of an all night G♯cafe F♯

A♯mWe watched the arrested get G♯taken C♯away

And that F♯cigC♯arette C♯haze has G♯ecology F♯beat

As the F♯whoC♯res and the C♯drunks filed G♯in from the A♯mstreet A♯msus4 A♯m

Chorus

F'Cause the steam's in the boiler the coal's in the A♯mfire A♯m G♯

If you F♯ask how I am then I'll G♯just say C♯inspired

FIf the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your A♯mside A♯m G♯

D♯mThen you're better off G♯dead if you haven't yet C♯died
