CAPO 8
[Verse 1]
C D7
Green light seven eleven
F C
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
C D7
You don't smoke don't even want to
F C
Hey now, check your change
C D7
Dressed up like a car crash
F C
The wheels are turning but you’re upside down
[Bridge]

You say when he hits you, you don’t mind
Dm7 C
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
D7 F C
Oh, Is that what it is?
[Verse 2]
C D7
Red lights, gray morning
F C
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
C D7
A vampire or a victim
F C
It depends on who’s around
C D7
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
F C
You could lip sync to the talk shows
[Bridge]

And if you look, you look through me
C
And if you talk it’s not to me
F G
And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing
[Chorus]

If I could stay.. then the night would give you up

Stay, and the day would keep it’s trust
Dm7 D7 c
Stay, and the night would be enough
[Verse 3]

Faraway, so close
F C
Up with the static and the radio waves
C D7
With satellite television
F C
You can go anywhere.
C D7
Miami, New Orleans,
F C
London, Belfast and Berlin
[Bridge]
Dm7
And if you listen I can’t call
C
And if you jump, you just might fall
F G
And if you shout I’ll only hear you
[Chorus]
Dm7 C
If I could stay.. then the night would give you up
Dm7 C
Stay then the day would keep it’s trust
Dm7 C
Stay with the demons you drown
C
Stay with the spirit I found
F G
Stay and the night would be enough
[Interlude]
C D7
Oooooh oh oh ohhhh...
F C
Oooooh oh oh ohhhh... [x2]
[Final Verse]
C D7
Three o’clock in the morning
F C
It’s quiet and there’s no one around
C D7
Just the bang and the clatter
F C
As an angel hits the ground
C D7
Just the bang and the clatter
F C
As an angel hits the ground
