Intro - G, Fmaj7-F*,  G  Fmaj7-F* (repeat)
(Strum the F* just quickly at then end, in order to try and keep with the sound of the piano)
         G  Fmaj7-F*         G  
  Now I'm sitting on a plane
       Fmaj7-F*       G  
Lonely flight back to L.A.
      Fmaj7-F*         G  
Don't come back with me
       G  Fmaj7-F*        G  
So I'll drink myself to sleep
    Fmaj7-F*        G  
Cut my skin until I bleed
        Fmaj7-F*          G  Fmaj7-F*
Hold my breath all the night
Cause it's Fmaj75 o'clock
    G*                  Am  G*
The hour stops the sunlight
                       Fmaj7  G*                Am  G*
And the buildings shade the masquerade and kill time
G, Fmaj7-F*,  G  Fmaj7-F* 
Hear the sound
She was naked on the ground
Till I whispered in her ear
Come away, watch the dawn break through the day
Till the sun is underneath
Cause it's Fmaj75 o'clock
    G*                  Am  G*
The hour stops the sunlight
                       Fmaj7  G*                Am  G*
And the buildings shade the masquerade and kill time
                        Fmaj7  G*                     Am  G*
Here we're nothing more than fools and whores and sad highs
                          Fmaj7  G*         
Through the summer sand, we're living in
                Am  G*        (REPEAT Fmaj7, G*, Am, G*)
We're living in a wasteland
It's a Gwasteland
It's a E2wasteland
It's a Amwasteland for Fmaj7me
                        Fmaj7  G*                     Am  G*
And we're nothing more than fools and whores and sad highs
                          Fmaj7  G*         
Through the summer sand, we're living in
                Am  G*        
We're living in a wasteland
(REPEAT Fmaj7, G*, Am, G*)
It's a Gwasteland
It's a E2wasteland
It's a Amwasteland for Fmaj7me
For me.G.
