Riff 1
While there's still a fighting chance
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Can't you just get up and go
Riff 1
And get away from this hollow romance
It's slowly binding us both
Riff 1
Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Riff 1
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
For your love just crumbles in my hands
But if you stay for a while
(Hammer down -string)
I'll try to think of something kind to say
And maybe if we pray for a while
St. Jude might hear my pleas
And see me on my knees
Because she knows how I adore you
We won't be fighting again tonight
Not if she knows I adore you
Fighting in the streets
Riff 1
I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi
You wear your make-up like Baby Jane
Riff 1
All of those promising lies that you told me
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Come on and tell me them again
Riff 1
I walked these streets all of my life
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
The fear and hope at every turn
Riff 1
She took him, two stepped me and made him a wife
Oh I know, and you know they'll crash an burn
Riff 1
Because she'll tell him what she wants and he'll avoid it
May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned
Riff 1
Show him what you love, watch him destroy it
For your love seems to crumble in his hands
Riff 1
Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Riff 1
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
For your love just crumbles in my hands
Keep playing Intro over and over, faster and faster...
