[Verse 1]
       Bb                   F     
I'm an elevator kid pushing 
                  C   G  C
buttons when I wanna go home
    Bb                   F        
But my generation hasn't even got 
              C  G  C
a name of its own
        Am              Bbsus2
We just buy what the TV sells
           F                    
And almost never stop wishing we 
      Bbsus2
were somebody else
      Gm                      Am
But tonight in the dark I can be 
myself


[Chorus]
     C                 Am    Em
When Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to
 play
      F                    G
We'll make 'em stay, we'll make 'em 
play
C                   Am  Em
Play 'til the stars all fade
      F                  G
We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn
         C                       
Make 'em play all night 'til the 
Am                          F
light like we'vе never seen nothin'
                     G           
Like wе'll never see anybody ever 
  C
again
             Am    Em
When the Rat-Kings go away
      F            G
We'll never be the same


[Verse 2]
  Bb                       F      
Z tried to edit Reddit, instead it
                       C    G  C
 said it had eaten her phone
              Bb                   
She goes from tinder to cinder 'til
       F                           
 she remembers she's a flame of her
 C  G  C
 own
        Am               Bbsus2
You can almost lose your heart
  F                                
Hoping for something better 'til it
 Bbsus2
 tears you apart
          Gm                       
While the days get longer and this 
Am
night won't start


[Chorus]
         C                 Am    
But when Bobby and the Rat-Kings 
Em
come to play
      F                    G
We'll make 'em stay, we'll make 'em 
play
C                   Am  Em
Play 'til the stars all fade

We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn
         C                       
Make 'em play all night 'til the 
Am                          F
light like we'vе never seen nothin'
                     G           
Like wе'll never see anybody ever

             Am    Em
When the Rat-Kings go away

We'll never be the same again
G    C   G  F  G
Oh, again


[Verse 3]
    C                        Am
Now Joey's gotta run for the train
                            F      
Says he's trying to make it back to
             G
 the city by ten
    C                          
And Mike's on his bike with the 
       Am
motor running
                       F           
I told him trains were running all 
            G
night right then
       C                      Am
In the moonlit town after the bridge
 fell down
           F                      
There were fires and we lost some 
G
power
      C                            
So we all dressed up for the ramble
Am

                      F            
And ran those streets long past the
          G
 witching hour


[Bridge]
      Am         Bb
I saw Dorothy in drag
           F             Bb
Taking the Tin Man for a ride
         Gm             Bb     
And then Z the Cat said she knew 
           Csus4  C
where to go
         Am                  Bb
Then she kissed me without a thought
                F               
Said "Sometimes memories are all 
         Bb
that we got
                Gm          Bb    
So come on, boy, let's make some 
      C
at the show"


[Verse 4]
                Bb             
So there's some leather-wrapped 
                 F        
Fender-strapped kid with a 
              C     G  C
pick-finger twitch
           Bb                  F  
He's got a recipe for radio or 
                C    G  C
rain, I don't know which
       Am                          
In the shadows when the lights are 
Bbsus2
dowsed
    F                            
The cinder kids flare while they 
Bbsus2
twist and shout
           Gm                      
We're the sparks in the dark 
  Am
that'll never go out


[Chorus]
        C                 Am    
So when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come
Em
 to play
      F                    G
We'll make 'em stay, we'll make 'em 
play
C                   Am  Em
Play 'til the stars all fade
      F                  G
We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn
         C                       
Make 'em play all night 'til the 
Am                          F
light like we'vе never seen nothin'
                     G           
Like wе'll never see anybody ever 
  C
again
             Am    Em
When the Rat-Kings go away
      F            G
We'll never be the same again


[Post-Chorus]
       C
So say hey, when the Rat-Kings
Em                   F     
 When the Rat-Kings, when the 
             G
Rat-Kings go away
    C
Say hey, when the Rat-Kings
Am                   Em    
 When the Rat-Kings, when the 
             G
Rat-Kings go away
    C                  Am
Say when the Rat-Kings go (When the 
Rat-Kings go)
F             G
When they go away (When they go 
away)
    C                 Am    Em
Say hey, when the Rat-Kings go away
      F            G     C   G  F  G
We'll never be the same again
