Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
     A
This town is a world of waifs and strays
       Gbm7
Comedy giants, penniless heroes
E
Dead men at the bar,
I've drank with them all
             A
Through misadventure and drag
D          A
 But I'm alone here
                Gbm7
Even though I'm physically not
                        E
And those dead boys are always there
             D         Dmaj9
There's more every year

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A             E
Maybe I could use a hand
  Bm7            D              A                E
I must admit I'm out of bright ideas to keep the hell at
bay
   Bm7            D
Distractions only last a day
    A             E
The night is so impossible
   Bm7                D
It haunts the few who dare to look
    A                E
Its marks are so hereditary
    Bm7          D
I'm terrified of having kids
        A                E
But I'm damned if I give up tonight
  Bm7            Dsus2
I must repel the dying light
    A               E
For Mam and Dad and all my pals
    Bm7              Dsus2           A
For all the ones who didn't make the night

[Outro]
E Bm7 Dsus2   A  E
           Oh-oh-oh
   Bm7
Oh-oh 
Dsus2   A E Bm7
     Ye-ah
Dsus2   A  E
     Oh-oh-oh
   Bm7
Oh-oh 
Dsus2 A E Bm7
Dsus2 A E Bm7
Dsus2   A  E
     Oh-oh-oh
   Bm7
Oh-oh 
Dsus2   A
     Ye-ah
