Heavy heavy picks and spades bricks and blades harmonizing mixin’ shades 

Hearts and diamonds sparks and violence sleight of hand tricks and trades

Day after day today today never ending

Am                          G                        F 
Every time you think you’ll stay stay stay stay stay stay 
G           C                 F 
Turn up the headlights in the dark if it’s just you on the highway 
G          C                      F 
And get us far from away from the start
