Intro: 2x F#m A E B
1.
F#m
call the dogs and sound the horns
A
the city key of where i's born
E B
has been stolen by someone I thought I knew
F#m
she blew in with some angel dust
A
from southern state where love is lust
E B
and I hope she's gone by the time this song is through
E B
but out among the passers by she wets her lips sweats her eyes
C#m B
baits her tongue with pity for her prey
A E
she transcends the avenue while she smiles at me she winks to you
B A
I guess I'll take my place in yesterday
Refrain:
A E A
and darlin' I cant wait for you to leave this town
E B
you just got here too late and no one wants you 'round
A E
with one foot on my back and the other on the rail
B E
I don't want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
2.
F#m
well the night is sweet the night's divine
A
it stains your teeth with blood red wine
E B
and leaves you lying in your enemy's arms
F#m
and while you mumble down the hall
A
something 'bout a skin made wall
E B
you find you're just a sucker for her charms
E B
'cause the vanity that cakes her face sucks you into death's embrace
C#m B
you feel your sense of self just fade away
A E
see you're just a one man show and once you're done its time to go
B A
hear some restless footsteps down the way

3.
F#m
now the youth protests the failing light
A
with his shirt sleeves rolled in the humid night
E B
he wonders where it was that he went wrong
F#m
and in denial while he ascends
A
to her lofty room where all dreams end
E B
he watches while his footsteps lead him on
E
but his turn comes the next in line
B
the well worn steps he slowly climbs
C#m B
to find her lying meat-hooks on display
A
and in the streets the sirens sing
E
what word they tell what news they bring
B A
the puppet in his cuffs of string obeys
Refrain:
E A
and darlin' I cant wait for you to leave this town
E B
you just got here too late and no one wants you 'round
A E
with one foot on my back and the other on the rail
B E
I don't want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
B E
I don't want to see you fall I just want to see you fail
