Capo 4
C G Am
F C G
F C Am G
C G Am
All of the stage names evaporate
F C G
And it's just a blood-flushed and heart-rushing race
F C Am F
Either to kick off too soon or stick around too late, to be far too
G
dear or too cut-rate
Am
Hold my hand again
G
Like at the lake
Am
Hold that mirror, babe
G
Up to my face
Am
Hear the whippoorwill?
F
Am I breathing still?
C G Am
F C G
F C Am G
C G Am
A Hollywood Babylon bike-a-thon for breakdancers
F C G
All broken down in their beds
F C G
Now intravenously fed
F C G
From a bag hanging over their heads
Am
Can I put you down for some miles?
G
What do you say?
Am G
Cause don't you know, it's going to be a long, long way
Am
But if you've got the cash
F
I'm ready to bust my ass
C G Am
F C G
F C Am G
C G Am
So, take this thin broken down circus clown reject and
F C G
Give her the name of a queen
F C G
Don't I know her from the mezzanine?
F C G
She didn't look like no princess to me
Am
But with the proper words
G
Bestowed
Am
And with her morning shoot
G
Her evening clothes
Am
Don't call her a prostitute
G
Well, she ain't one of those
Am
Just call her a proper little statue
F
Come unfroze
C G Am
F C G
F C Am G
