C# E F#
All these voices in the night
E C#
Come like a cool summer rain
C# E F#
Know they hangim' for a while
E C#
So I let 'em stay, stay, stay
[Verse 2]

Oh, all these faces in the night

Looking like television saints
C# E F#
With their names in big bright lights
E C#
All they do is take, take, take, take, take
[Pre-Chorus]
F#
Oh, lady, I got my hand on the trigger and it's pointed at the dead ringer
[Chorus]
C# E F# E C#
Hold my cigarette while it's lit, and let it burn you, baby

Oh, dead ringer, you so sick, but you look amazing

Hold my cigarette while it's lit, and let it burn you, baby

Oh, dead ringer, you so sick, but you look amazing

C# E F#
Oh, my reflection's from a time
E C#
When all the worst was a game
C# E F#
Nothin' like the shake of life
E C#
Stuck up in a race, race, race, race, race
[Verse 4]

Hell caught a shadow of a guy
E C#
Can't find him one little break
C# E F#
See, there's a gap in his smile.

For fittin' all his pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
