1. Green light, seven-eleven,
you stop in for a pack of cigarettes,
D E
G D
you
don’t smoke, don’t even want to, hey, now, check your change.
D E
Dressed up like a car crash,
G
D
your
wheels are turning, but you’re upside down.
Em D
You say when it hits you, you don’t
mind,
Em D
because
when he hurts you, you feel alive.
G
Hey, now, is that what it is?

2. Red light, grey morning,
you stumble out of a hole in the ground,
D E G
D
a vampire or a victim, it depends on who’s
around.
D E
You used to stay in to watch
the adverts
G D
you could lip-synch to the talk shows.
Em F#m
And if you look,
you look through me,
G
and
when you talk, you talk at me,
A
and when I touch you, you don’t feel a
thing.

+ If I could stay, then
the night would give you up,
Em D
stay
and the day would keep its trust,
Em D
stay
and the night would be enough.

3. Far away, so close, up
with the static and the radio,
D E G - D
with
satellite television you can be anywhere :
D E G D
Miami, New
Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin.
Em F#m
And if you
listen, I can tell you,
G
and if
you jump, you just might fall,
A
and if you shout,
I’ll only hear you.

+ If I could stay, then
the night would give you up,
Em D
stay
and the day would keep its trust.
Em G
Stay with the demons you
drowned, stay with the spirits I found,
Em G D
stay and the
night would be enough.

E G D
+ Woah, oh oh oh
oh, woah, oh oh oh oh. (2x)

4. Three o’clock in the morning, it’s quiet and
there’s no one around,
D
E G D
just
the bang and the clatter, as an angel runs to ground.
D E G D
Just the bang and the clatter,
as an angel hits the ground.
