C#The streets of persuasion
BAre plated with gG#old
C#Your heart's in the right place,
But you trBavel down the wrong rG#oad
C#Like so many before you
BThe gates open wG#ide
Here come the riC#sing tideB  G#  
Let's F#go out, tonG#ight
There's a myA#mstery underneath the neon liF#ghts
F#Before life and dream cG#ollide
Cause the trA#muth's gonna come and cut me open wF#ide
And you cF#an't escape the riFmsing of the A#mtide
C#Keep up your appearance, Byou're joining the cG#hoir
C#With everybody singing out
"BGlory HalleG#juah"
C#The time came for your solo
BBut there's nowhere to hG#ide
Here come the risC#ing tideB  G#  
And the coF#mpany you kG#eep
Well they A#mplan your crucifiction as we sF#peak
So, baby 'till lF#ife and dream the cG#ollide
There's gonna be a mA#mystery underneath those neon lF#ights
If you caF#n't decipher jFmust who's on your A#mside
You will F#not escape the risFming of the tA#mide
C#Can you tell me brother? was I deceived, or in dA#menial?
C#I was there, on the back of the room, when you tesF#tifiedG#  
With your piA#mtchfork tongue, you licked your lips, and lF#ied
We're never gonna knF#ow how hard you cG#ried
When you petA#mitioned and your access was deF#nied
'Till the vF#enom in your vFmeins is satA#misfied
'Till you suF#ffocate and swFmallow down the pA#mride
Well you cF#an't escape
(You cAan't escape)
Yeah A#myou can't escape
(You cAan't escape)
No you cF#an't escape the rFmising of the A#mtide
