[Chorus]
D Bm
Tune in rock star, there's no dark spot running around your face
Em F#m Am Em
You find time to get laid, you find ways to get paid
D Bm
You don't see no busted rain clouds watering up your days
Em F#m Am G
And so set in your ways and so fixed in your gaze
 
[Verse]
D A
They're calling out for more, you're breaking out in time
Csus2 G
It sounds just like a war and everybody's blind
Bbsus2 G
You're digging out some more and now it's time to fly
D Bb G F D
To sleep sound in the ghost town away
 
[Bridge]
D/C Bb6/9
If you could just stay
G/B
A terrible way
Bb6/9 G/B
Hanging out there, areas of gray
Bb6/9 G/B
Got most of it motioned away
Bb6/9 G/B
Got a life to lead oceans away
 
[Chorus]
D Bm
Tune in rock star, there's no dark spot running around your face
Em F#m Am Em
You find time to get laid, you find ways to get paid
D Bm
You don't see no busted rain clouds watering up your days
Em F#m Am G
And so set in your ways and so fixed in your gaze
