[Primeiro Verso]

A#m
Slow
                      D#m
I'm gonna settle down slow
            G#
Down to the hum of
                  D#m
Electric life and soul
A#m
Faith
              D#m
In my hand to trade
             G#
But for the word and
                       D#m  
The light of a bitter saint

[Refrão]

F#                     G# A#m
And you can get me work

But I can't work for free
           G#
I've got a room downtown
                     F#   G# 
With a bed and a big TV
F#                     G# A#m 
If you can raise a star

From garbage on the street
                    G#
Then you can make a modern life
                     F#    G#
For a modern girl to lead

( A#m  D#m  G#  Fm  D#m )

[Segundo Parte]

A#m
Alone
        D#m
I feel alone
                      G#
When I'm living in a building
        Fm                D#m
Like a tooth in heaven's throat
A#m
True
                 D#m
It's a beautiful view
                           G#
But you know they're gonna set it on fire
           Fm                 D#m
When they feel like something new

[Ponte]

F#                           G#  A#m
But why can't anything be real?

Emotion like the movies feel?
     G#                             F# G#
(A pill to break the drone of reverie)
F#                            G# A#m
So bring me to the hand of fate

The river or a new arcade
   G#                        F#   G#
So I can wash the empty hour away

( D#m  F# )

                      F#
Cause I'm living in a room downtown
