[Intro]
Em G
Em G
I went where all the girls are beautiful
Em C
Golden hair and radiant smiles
B Em G
And cocaine high oblivion to pain
G
It made me feel so damn inadequate
C B
And insane for the feel good feeling
G C
High inside their helium trancemade vapor
Em
Feeling grim and grimy
C G
Oh Tokyo's not far enough away
D Em G
To where I want to be today
Em G
But lonely ain't a word with me
Em C
Absurd you see in crowded rooms
G
That's where it hits me
C G
Splits me right in half and out spills the emptiness
C B
And no one wants to talk with someone
C
Cut in two and acting werewolf crazy
G C
And hairdooed and out of control
G C
Would you like some company
G C B
No thanks I've had my fill today
C G D
Oh Tokyo's not far enough away from where I wanna be today
C G D Em G
Oh Tokyo's not far enough away from where I wanna be today
C G
I want to ride this party off into the sunset
C B
It's a mystery to me to see this girl over here
C G
With the beer and the queer and the look
C G
So debonair and she don't care
B C G
About this looking so good feeling so fine
C B
Motherfucker that I be cold chilling in the place
C G
Taste yes I've got it plenty any more and I'd be dinty moore
C G B
And dental damns and Irish ham and rocket jam
C G D
Oh Tokyo's not far enough away from where I wanna be today

Oh Tokyo's not far enough away from where I wanna be
NC
I don my fake fur feather boa lust like Noah

Tiger skin fucking mackin the clones ain't got no style
C
Wait a while and you can turn on the dial
G C
And see my face with cuties gettin so much booty
