[Ab] [Bb] [Gb]
[Db] [Bb] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Abm]
[Db] [Bb] [Ab]
[Db] Wake up running on [Bb] the [Abm] sacred [Ab] ground Searching the scrap yard for my dirty [Db] crown
I've been walking a [Bb] [Abm]
very [Db] long time [Bb] Baby [Db] child I [Bb] found your [Abm] mama's [Ab] knee
Thirty [Db] five angels [Abm] looking after [Ab] me They've been watching [Db] [Bb] with [Ab] eyes so wide
[Bb]
[Gb] In a sea of steel [Eb] I've seen a golden [Db] glow In a message [Bb] anyone could know
[Gb] Like a walking translation [Bb] on a street of [Db] lies Singing these [Bbm] scrap yard [Ab] lullabies
[Bb]
[Db] [Bb]
[Db] [Bb]
[Ab] I'm gonna take [Bbm] my time for her [Db] riches Wait for the [Bb] diamonds to ripen
In the ditches of love around here Things [Db] are never as they [Bbm] appear
[Gb]
Got a [Db] natural pearl [Bb] in my care At least a [Gb] hand, say, [Ab] for the girl
Who could [Bb] really understand what it takes to save [Db] The gold from the alchemy
[Bb] [Abm]
[Gb] From a rusted hood [Eb] I've seen the stars fall [Ab] about
Screaming the [Bbm] message anyone could find [B] out [Db] Like a walking translation down a street of lies
Singing these scrap [Bbm] yard lullabies
[Ab] [Bb]
[B]
[Ab] [Db] [Bb]
[B] [Db]
[Bbm] [Ab]
[Db]
[Ab] Hush now [Bb] baby dreams, sweet [Db] dreams Mama's gonna break your ambience
I'm waiting, she won't let you go You won't even [Eb] know
[Bb]
[Ab] Cause the chrome do rust and [Bb] the dust do [Db] shine [Bb] Broken could be golden in its very own time
[Db] You can be sure [Bbm] You [Abm]
won't [Db] even know what for
[Bb]
[Gb] Now I'm down in the junk on [Eb] a darkened [Ab] day Searching through the plies [Bb] as others throw away
[Gb] Like a walking [Bb] translation on a street [Ab] of lies Singing these scrap [Bbm] yard [Abm]
[Gb] lullabies
Wake up running [Eb] on the sacred [Db]
ground Thirty five angels [Bbm] leading her [Ab] around
Like [Db] a walking translation [Eb] down a street of [Bb] lies
Singing these scrap yard lullabies
[Db] Singing [Bbm]
[Db] these scrap yard [Bm]
[Db] lullabies
