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
