G 
  It gets lonliest 
   Em 
at night Down at

Beneath the neon 
sky Our moonlight 
G 
  6 AM the floor 
comes alive with 
Em 
lice The pan's 
            D 
dried up so tight

Just to see 
you're still there

      Am 
you a prettier 
C 
picture baby 
Em            G

  Cigarettes they 
         Em 
fill the gaps 
             D 
In our empty days 
              C 
In our broken teeth 
We're jonesing 
G 
  Say mister can 
            Em 
you spare a dime? 

Some change could

make a change 
               C 
Could buy some time 


Refrain 3: 
     G      D/F#

hear my story 
It's all I've 
C 
got My fiction-

G 
-beats the hell 
          Em 
out of my truth 
A palm upturned

burnt blue Don't 
        C 
call it sunburn

Em            G 
  You've been shaking 
       C  G 
on the job Just 
    Am 
one drink ahead 
Em          C 
of your past 
Em          G 
  There's a white 
             C 
light coming up 
G              Am 
  You draw the blinds 
       Em        C 
hoping it'll pass
