[Intro ]F C G F x2
F
I come disguise I was hypnotized
C
Lost a track, struggled back
G
I wanted easy stuff to please me
F
Something in the dark began to squeeze me
F
Seen it, there, then there in the mirror
C
Totally focused, no hocus pocus
G
Dare I give in to this thing gripping my skin
F
To win, thinking how to as
Chorus
F Em
The lights of a car go by in a stream
G
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
F
But I open my eyes and beams come out
C
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
G C G
Gimme more than the life I see
C
Score adds up, Angels play
F
Let my loneliness get blown away
C
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
G C G
Gimme more than the life I see
I lie down in the dust just under your eye
A scrap of paper, thin as vapour
Filling my clothes like smoke
A couple of the wires in my heart are broke
I throw, I miss, something, nothing
Dreams, schemes, moments wasted
Taste I tasted
Fate I'm fated
Re-edited again then copy pasted
The lights of a car go by in a stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams
Come out
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score adds up
Angels play
Let my loneliness get blown away
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
When I wanna quit, I suffocate it
I chew bubblicious, stress repetitious
Vicious, I'm one outside you
Up above the streets on the DCY-er
Higher, fire in my guts
In a rut, but what I've got
Is in no can, no other human
But I do get lonely, scared I'm phony
As
The lights of a car go by in a stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams
Come out
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score adds up
Angels play
Let my loneliness get blown away
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
