=Chorus=
G                   C7
A million takes and digital snakes 
Pry wide my weary eyes
G          D
Closet men slowly rend
F                  A        G
What's left of the midnight hour

We race the sun to avenue one
Just before last call
A small little bar although it's not far
Just one bottle away from home

I was looking for my mother 
When the worm I uncovered
Gave me a forelorn grin
Said the world doesn't care 
about your artistic fare 
And the worm fixed me with his eye

You're one mouth to feed and 
at best you'll lead
One miserable life sentence
And with that, he tip his hat
And left me to my own defense

I left the bar and walked into a star 
A known face whose name I forget
"Out of my way", I heard him say
and his death I’ll never regret

As my face washed down I felt the ground
It readily accepted me
The pale moon above dropped a white glove
Which I happily received 

Some people drop wives like some people view lives
It’s only the numbers that count
But if you met the numbers or the lives they encumber
You’d see how misery amounts.

=BREAK=
A7            A7/4
And together you and I 
A7            A7/4
Go blissfully etherized
CM7                     FM7           
While the night wonders like a wet dog 
Am               D          G
Puddle wonderful over drunk logs

=CHORUS=
Em                     D
I got blitzed at four, I can take anymore 
Em         D      C
I can only bow my head.
em  
Cos the blond that walked in 
D
is part of another guys sin
F                         Am      G 
and about it you may have already read
