  Am                    Fmaj7 EA face that seems to laugh alone
Dm                      C6              Am                 E  AmSits in the flames that warm the frozen stretches of night

   Dm                C6                         Am          E  AmSet sail to beat the cards that rain around the chorus girls
    Am                 Fmaj7 EThe bullets from the golden gun
  Dm          C6                               Am    E  AmAppear to penetrate the flesh below the golden curls

    E                                 FShe hope's he'll find the locks, that free her from the world

[Chorus]

  Dm                 C6                   Am           E  AmIs listening to the artist playing in the mirrored room
   Am            Fmaj7  EThe albums of forgotten songs
     Dm           C6                                    Am    E  AmGrow dusty in the floodlit shelves somewhere below the moon

E                             F Demons and pacesetters, they laugh into the night

[Chorus]
