Intro and Riff played between Verses: Am C* D C
Verses: Am D C
Am C* D C X 2
Am
You're bad for me
D C
Like Cigarettes.
Am
But I haven't sucked
D C
Enough of you yet.
Am
Nothing is sacred,
And nothing is true,
D
I'm no-one that's nowhere,
C Am
When I'm here with you.
C* D C
Am C* D C
Am D C
I've lost the power I had to distinguish
Am D C
Between what to ignite and what to extinguish.
Am
I blew in last night,
I'm the ghost from the coast.
D
When the lighting is bad,
C
I'm the man with the most.
Am
You left me to choke,
On a heart up in smoke,
D
Smiling through your tears,
D Am
And your tetracycline overdose.
C* D C
Am C* D C

Everything's sacred,
And everything's true,
D
All this is possible,
C Am
When I'm here with you.
C* D C

Am
I've got a lot to say,
D C
But I won't speak with my mouthful.
Am
I'd like to spit it out,
D C
But I keep my own counsel.
Am
I blew in last night,
I'm the ghost from the coast.
D
When the lighting is bad,
C
I'm the man with the most.

You left me to choke,
On a heart up in smoke,
