The Wretched Sound Of City Cars

G D C2x G D I woke up this morning to the wretched sound of city cars AM C The cheek print on my pillow smelled of aftershave and old guitars G D So another day comes through my window creeping Am C And I'm old enough to know that it's much too late for sleeping G D C2x G D Cameras, cloaks, and daggers guard a heart upon a hidden shelf Am C But no protection's better than the secret wall you build yourself G D And no persuasion, trick, or trade can lead you from your home Am Save the hand of love C G Even she can't keep you long D Am I keep lying to myself C G And everybody, everybody D Am I keep lying to myself C G And everybody, everybody else D C2x G D Am Oh, seduction's like the smoke around my fingertips C You know cigarettes can k**l you, but they look good hanging from your lips G D And buried deep between the darkness and the dawn Am C G Is where I thought I'd try to keep you 'neath a spell of fire and song Am But I keep lying to myself C G And everybody, everybody D Am I keep lying to myself C G And everybody, everybody D Am I keep lying to myself C G And everybody, everybody else D Am I keep lying to myself C G And everybody, everybody else D Am C C G Everybody, everybody else D Am C G3x I've been lying to myself C2x G D Am C G You're so far away D G Am C Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? G You're so far away D Am Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
