[Bb] Wait for me [C] by the banshee tree _
[Dm] Let me be your [C] welcome _ cannon
[Bb] And pass along by, [C] don't look them in the eye
[Dm] _ [Bb] Suicide alley's calling
They [C] thought you were dreaming that you could wake up again
[G] And you'll never [C] ever know what's real _ _

Downtown _ baby's a million to one
[F] You might as well name [C] the poison
_ _ [F]
Standing _ [C] in line by the exit sign
[Bb] _ _ Suicide [C] alley's beating
_ Yeah, [F] you're a loose cannonball [Dm] on a sinking ship
[F] From the belly of the beast and [Dm] you're shot from the hip
But you [F] don't have to be going [Dm] down the dark hall
You're tied to [G] the chair and not nailed to the wall

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Cm] by the window in the middle of the night
I can see you wearing your [C] halo _
If [F] only in the daybreak [Am] of a dirty streetlight
[Bb] I know baby wasn't born [C] to fall in love
And [F] no I wasn't born, I [C] was found out on the wall
[G] Nobody knew my _ name
[Fm] The sun hatched me out [C] of the cradle and out
[G] Of the corner of first and _ [C] insane
For [F] the souls of the departed [C] and the renegades of love
[G] You and me, we gotta be [C] all we dreamed [G] of
[F] The ruins of [C] mischief, the ravages of time
You [G] got a place and there's a world of mine
