B7/D# Em C Em/B
When you walk home from the party
Am Em B7(addC)
Drunk on bacardi and listening
B7/D# Em C Em/B
To the voices that lie to you nightly
Am Em |B5 C5 G5 (repeat)|
Make you frightened of everyone
When you walk home from the party
Drunk on bacardi and listening
To the voices that lie to you nightly
B7(addC)
Make you sorry for something
You go home and spend your life alone with the stereo
Watching the late show; or force yourself
Out in the night to meet your generation
B B/A# D# G#m D# G#m C#m
You feel like claymation in fluorescent light
B B/A# D# G#m
On our knees, we made it hard to see
D# G#m C#m
We made it hard to breathe and the air was thin
Coda: ...C#m E5 B5.
