[Verse 1]
E A
Your eyes are magnets
C#m F# F#* E
The darkness found another home
A C#m
You distance your friends
F# F#* E
Now you're wandering alone
A C#m
Sorrow soaks through
F# F#*
Straight through to the bone
A
Pulse is slowing to a deadly pace
F# E A C#m F# F#* E A C#m F# F#*
Sweat keeps pouring off that melting face of fear
[Verse 2]
E A
She's cruising not using
C#m F# F#* E
A part of her it hears that little voice
A C#m F#m F#* E
Speakers are distorted, goes in for a check
A C#m
Gets overhauled and souped up
F# A
Now she's purring jet-set fuel injection
Automatic linear gauge
F# E
Takes a minute before the feel kicks in
E E
And throws her back. retraces all her tracks
[Chorus 1]
A F#
Before the flame appears
A F# E A C#m F# F#* E A C#m F# F#*
No one can follow her down here
[Verse 3]
E A
He's dreaming and scheming
C#m F# F#* E
Of ways to keep that rock and roll alive
A C#m
Powerbook's downloading
F# F#* E
Lights another cigarette smile
A C#m F# F#* A
Saving up for a vacation with his frequent flyer miles
A A
And miles of satellite calls
A A E
Hitting up those stars before they fall and fade away
E
Forever lost in space
[Chorus 2]
A F#
Before the fire destroys
A F# E
The pain that no one knew was there
[Outro]
