[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb]
Green light, 7-Eleven, [Bb] you stop [Eb] in for a pack of cigarettes,
you don't smoke, don't even want to eat.
Hey now, [Ab] check [Eb] your change, dressed up like a car [Bb] crash.
The [Ab] wheels are turning [Eb] but [Cm] you're upside [Ebm] [Bb] down,
[Fm] you say well if it's [F] you, you [Eb] don't mind.
[Fm] Because when it hurts [Eb] you, you see a light,
for them, is that what it is.
Red light, great many, you stumble [Ab]
[Eb] out of a hole in the ground.
A vampire or a victim, it depends on who's around.
You used to stand to watch the adverts,
you could listen to her talk so nice.
And [F] if you were, [Eb] you would fool me.
And when you talk, you talk [Ab] at me.
And when I touch you, [Bb] you don't feel a thing.
If I [Ebm] could [Fm] stand, give [Eb] you a hug,
[Ab] [Fm] stand, keep [Eb] it strong,
[Ab] stand,
[Bb] [Eb]
far away, so close.
[Ab] Up with the static [Eb] and the radio,
up with satellite television,
[F] you [Ab] can go anywhere.
[Eb] Miami, [Bb] New [F] Orleans, [Ab] London, [Eb] Belfast, and Berlin.
[Fm] And if you see, I [Eb] can't call.
And [Gm] if you jump, you just [Ab] might fall.
And if you shout, I'll [Bb] love you again.
If [Eb] I could [Fm] stand, [Eb] give you a hug,
[Ab] stand, [Fm]
[Eb] keep it strong,
[Fm] stand,
[Cm] feel the [Ab] ground,
stand, [Bb] with the spirit that I [Fm] found,
stand,
[Eb] be nice.
[Cm] Sit [Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb] back, in the moment, [Ab] it's quiet.
[Eb] There's no one around, just the bank and [F] the clatter,
[Ab] as everything works [Eb] together.
Just the bank [G] and the clatter,
as an angel hits the ground.
