Standard (EADGBE)
Riff 1
Intro
[x3]
Verse 1 Chords:
The Eiffel Tower built to smaller scale
The freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale
I tapped a bottle against the safety rail killing time
Verse 2 Chords:
And you were like a walking compliment
Tall in stature and exceptionally read
[w/Riff 1]
In dummy glasses and a cardigan, oh, come on
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
Verse 3
(use verse 2 chords)
You said that all these things you've learned to ignore
The hidden cameras on the casino floor
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors, oh, come on
Pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello
Post-Verse:
Riff 1
The people stare into their eyes
And they feed them little bribes and then they go
Interlude
[x3]
Bridge
The never-ending twilight
In a basement where the sun has never spilt
You said that you were lonely
And then we kissed like lonely people do
Verse 4
(use verse 2 chords)
You said this city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
In a desert for a dollar bill
Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still, oh, come on
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
