[INTRO]
F# A#m B B
[VERSE 1]
F# C#
The barkeep's in a bad mood, playing with his change
D#m F#
Talking 'bout a blood moon, asking how I found this place
B F#
My eyes are drained from the one that got away
B C#
So tonight I'm going out, tonight I'm gonna stay out
F# C#
In walks lady long boots, looking for a date
F# A#m
I would make the first move, but I'm too drunk to enunciate
B F#
Never been one to want to hear about someone's day
B C# B
So tonight I'm going out, tonight I'm gonna stay out
C#
And it's so hard just to be
[PRE-CHORUS]
B
There's such a fine line between the things you want and the
C#
And the things that you need
B F#
So I'm not going to sleep
[CHORUS]
C# B
I'm slipping into midnight under harsh light
F#
And nothing gets me down
C# B
Running into old friends I don't need anymore
F# C#
Tonight I'm gonna show 'em, We all got scars, we all got scars
B
We all got scars, we all got scars, so what?
F# C# B
I'm slipping into midnight under harsh light
F# A#m
And nothing here is bringing me down, oh whoa
B F# B
No, nothing here is bringing me down
[VERSE 2]
F# C#
And my heart is always breaking for the ghosts that haunt this room
B A#m
We fall asleep to revolution, but wake up next to a sad excuse
B F#
Oh, what a shame how we got in our own way
B C# B
So tonight I'm going out, tonight I'm gonna stay out
[PRE-CHORUS]
B C# A#m
And it's so hard not to scream (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
B
There's such a fine line between the things you are and the
C#
And the things that you've been
[CHORUS]
C# B
I'm slipping into midnight under harsh light
F#
And nothing gets me down
F# C# B
Up above the past loves I don't need anymore
F# C#
Tonight I'm gonna show 'em, We all got scars, we all got scars
B
We all got scars, we all got scars, so what?
F# C# B
I'm slipping into midnight under harsh light
F#
And nothing here is bringing me down
[BRIDGE]
F#
I'm scared that I'm becoming a satellite (We all got scars)
F#
I'm sat aside of the moon (We all got scars)
F#
Convinced that if you'd ever stood by my side (We all got scars)
F#
Now you're on the other side of the room (We all got scars)
F#
But I get this funny feeling that tonight is going to end (We all got scars)
G#m C#
Much better than it's been, ooh (We all got scars)
B F#
I find it hard to keep my eyes open (We all got scars)
G#m C# B F#
And let the lights shine in, ooh (We all got scars)
[PRE-CHORUS]
C#
And it's so hard just to be
B C#
There's such a fine line, such a fine line, such a fine line
B F#
But I'm not sleeping tonight
[CHORUS]
C# B
I'm slipping into midnight under harsh light
F#

B

B F# A#m
No, nothing here is bringing me down
B F# A#m
No, nothing here is bringing me down
F# A#m B F# A#m
Nothing here is bringing me down, down, down, down, down down down down
B F#
And nothing here is bringing me down
