VERSE
C# F# C#
There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
F# C#/F
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
Eb Ab F#
Away in the distance there's a blue flashing light
Bbm Ab C#
Someone's in trouble somewhere tonight
F#/C# C# Ab F#
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
F#/C# C# Ab Bbm
The wind blows away all of yesterday's news
Ab/C C# F/A Bbm F F# Ab/C C#
VERSE
C# F# C#
Well they've locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches
F# C#/F
They always could find us but they never could catch us
Eb Ab F#
Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe
Bbm Ab C#
We watched the arrested get taken away
F#/C# C# Ab F#
And that cigarette haze has ecology beat
F#/C# C# Ab Bbm Bbmsus4 Bbm
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street
CHORUS
F Bbm Bbm/Ab

Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died
