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.
[Verse]

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]
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 B E F# 2x
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.
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.
[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…
