[Verse 1]
Bbm        D#m
I've got a broken heart and a broken smile
       B
When I fall I get up even if it takes a while
D#m
Seeking shelter in the ghost of Elvis
    B                                  Fm       C#
And all of the magic Michael left this world
D#m
And I ain't leaving even if I know that
D#m
Sometimes I drive on the wrong side
B
Somehow I'm terrified
D#m                                           B
Some days I will stray inside to cover that I've cried
      C#               Bbm        D#m
Being twice as sorry because I've lied

[Pre-Chorus]
Such a sad looking clown
In a world upside down
Astray in the alleys of this town
There's but one little sun
Where she can safely run
When she comes undone

[Chorus]
Fm             G#        D#        Fm
Oh baby let me stay your alley cat
      C#              D#
You're my wire to the light
                                         Fm
And my spark here in the still of the night
                    G#        D#
So baby let me stay where I'm at
        G#     C#      D#
In your sight I always feel alright

Repeat First Riff

[Verse 2]
G#m                        
I'm right where I don't want to be
           E
And it's a mystery
                          G#m
How the will to fit in is making me
               E
A hole in history
                   D#        G         G#m
And as long as I'm alive I won't be free
D#m                         
Sometimes I'm left on the outside
B
Somehow I got no pride
D#m                         B
Some days I am trying to survive when I collide
       C#           Bbm     D#m         
Win an empty Jackie by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
Such a sad looking clown
In a world upside down
Astray in the alleys of this town
There's but one little sun
Where she can safely run
When she comes undone

[Chorus]
Oh baby let me stay your alley cat
You?re my wire to the light
And my spark here in the still of the night
Oh baby let me stay where I?m at
In your sight I always feel alright

Solo

[Bridge]
D#
G#m         C#        G#m
Why me? I'm trying to find
            E         F#      G#m
A way to erase and rewind

Help me face my fears
F#           G#m
Stay pulling strings my dear

Rule me like a puppeteer

F#
Repeat Chorus
