Intro: G  G  Em  C x2 

G 
Most of this life's been a drag of a high 
     C                    D            
And lows like a blow in a paid thrown title fight 
 G                                       C 
Most of My sins were born in a kiss on a night like this 
 D 
Calling all lonely hearts 

Em           C         
Oh.Oh.oh.Oh. Oh oh oh oh 
G                             D 
Don't You want a life like We saw on the picture show? 
Em           C  
Oh.Oh.oh.Oh. Oh oh oh oh 
   G                                  D 
So come on give Me something,'n' come on keep Me up all night 

Em   C     G    D 
 You say...  My baby,  
Em             C          G              D 
 Yeah all this time in between drives Me crazy 
Em        C       G           D          Em 
 I want a life on fire, going mad with desire 
        C             G         D        | G .. 
I don't wanna survive, I want a wonderful life

G                                
My love seems like it goes from a dream 
      C                      D 
To a crash and a roll, just shaking up everyone 
  G                
Maybe there's more than the treasures We secure  
       C                     D 
That become heavy chains, to sink Us in tidal waves 

Em           C         
Oh.Oh.oh.Oh. Oh oh oh oh 
    G                 D 
And all I could do is take You from the circus show 
Em           C 
Oh.Oh.oh.Oh. Oh oh oh oh 
   G                                  D 
So come on give Me something,'n' come on keep Me up all night

    G                  Bm             C        
And all My nights they always end the same  
                           D 
(with the blacktop, blacktop) Coming from behind 
G                        Bm                    C 
 It's just the age-old game  from the living dead  
                 D 
buzzing in My head. They keep Me up all night 

Em   C     G    D
