some of this might still need some help...
Verse 1:
A
the sinners and the saints and the suicide girls
passion into darkness and the pawnshop pearls
E F#m
one place, one time, one love, we owned the night
A
and the tender souls wondered where the faith had all gone
and the neon on lamar came rumbling on
E F#m
we swore they wouldnt take us down without a fight
D E
hopeless hearted hunters waging war on the stars
A D
we cheered the revolution from a rooftop bar
D A E
and swore to one another only we could make it right
Chorus:
A E F#m
we said maybe tonight, maybe tonight, maybe tonight we can
A E F#m A
maybe tonight, maybe tonight, maybe tonight we can
Verse 2:
A
I remember your kiss like TNT
A
how it rattled every long gone part of me
E F#m
and in the heat of the night you shook when you said my name
A
and the precious drop of sweat running down your back
like a southbound train burning down the tracks
E F#m
two martyrs in a world that would never be the same
D E
among the midnight runners and the teenage stunners
A D
we were searching for the light of day
D
we hoped againt hope we could find one voice
A E
to sing what we were desperate to say
Chorus X2
Horn Solo
and the tears running down your face
like a sad broken prophets parade
while this dirty city sleeps tonight
to the gutterat serenade
underneath that holy streetlight
we can take it all back again
and its the echo of the wounded heart in the night
that proves we were born to win
