Charlie asked the girl why her skin was glowing,
G#m                                  E
asked her where she’d been and where she was going.
    F#
Her reply was succinct and just dripping with ink.
    B                           E
She left him tongue-tied, oh so weak and flustered
   G#m                       E
as she - with all the apathy that she could muster -
F#
said “To Hell. Are you coming angel?”


[Chorus]
      E                    Em
Let’s live out scenes from movie screens
         B           D#m      G#m          F#
from our cheap seats onto the dance floor.
      E
We’ll hotbox old cars,
Em                          B
drive ‘em just as far as we can
  D#m       G#m        F#       E
before the night falls to its knees.
      Em                         B
There ain’t nothing here left for me.
           E             Em                     F#
Just for tonight, we can be all that we want to be.

B                         E
Charlie said “Hey baby, I got no money,
        G#m                           E
I’m not going anywhere but I’ll still take you honey.
      F#
Let’s run to the shore, I don’t wanna stay here no more.”
      B                             E
Christ, it seems I’m cursed to live by the moonlight.
   G#m                         F#
It means I see the dawn before any of you might.
                          G#m             E
Oh, let me go, I’d rather drown than just float.


[Chorus]

[Bridge]
    B
I’m out of luck. Time won’t slow
    B
I’m on the slab… so it goes!
   E
Oh comfort, I was never sold.
    F#
The night is still young but the story’s so old.
      B
We’re out of time. Don’t you know
      B
we’ve nothing left once blood runs cold?
      E
We’ll live on through the stories told.
    F#                          B
The night’s on its knees oh but I can’t go home…
