Intro:
F Am Gm F
F Am
They re getting prepared to haul the car out of the river
Gm F
Noise and smoke and concrete seem to be going on forever
F Am
Grinding gears and drivers getting high on exhaust
Gm Bb
Thinking about the water down below and what got lost
F Am Gm F
Like the intro
F Am
The jingle of pachenko and space torpedo games
Gm F
Comic book violence like escaping steam
F Am
Gray suited businessman pissing against the wall
Gm Bb
cut to crumbling guard rail slow motion car fall
Chorus
F Bb C Gm
Oh Tokyo I never can sleep in your arms
F Bb C Gm
My mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
F Bb C Gm
Me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup
F Bb C Gm
did you have to show me that accident scene didn't I get enough shaking up
Gm Bb Bb7 C C7
still I'm going to miss you
F Am Gm F
(Like the intro)
F Am
The dragon of good fortune struggles with the trickster fox
Gm F
energy and patience and the power of the buck
F Am
Tonight I'm flying headlong to meet the dark red edge of dawn
Gm Bb
I know somebody will be crying and somebody will be gone
Repeat Chorus
F Am Gm F
F Am Gm F
