Chords in this song · guitar

The city lights are beckoning

Their sirens softly call

All the fantasists and fetishist

D# G#

Are preparing for their ball

D# Fm

We’ve been stuck here on the doorstep

With nothing to forsake

But we might as well

be anyone’s to take

G# Cm

So I give myself to strangers

Like I gave myself to you

The tenderness I felt has been replaced

By something new

And in the ending I can vaguely hear

D# Fm

An outline of your call

But it might as well be any words at all

Every memory is sailing

D# Cm

To the kingdom of your soul

As you patiently await

D# Fm

I lose my sense of self-control

For you were the lighthouse to my broken boat

D# Fm

But I left you behind

Now I might as well be anyone’s to find
