Intro: ( ) x3

A D/A G

So this is where she stands at night, on this cold avenue of lights

A B F G

The reds and greens but mostly reds, for you he's stopping

In seeing him she knows him less, his stick is wet she's half undressed

A B F G

And all in all they're both obsessed with so much nothing

A F/A A F/A A

I know it's hard for you to see what lies behind's a mystery

F/A A G D/F# Em D A/C# G/B AM7 A6 AM7 A6

If words could speak, they'd mean even less, when the king is half undressed

A D/A G

She dots her eyes with a smiley face, a work of art in all but taste

A B F G

The fool deserves the bed he's made where idiots slumber

A D/A G

Divine she is to air his fate a crack of smile through all this hate

A B F G

Means nothing more in this nervous state of so much nothing

A F/A A F/A A

I know it's hard for you to see what lies behind's a mystery
