_ [G] _ [C] There's a high wind [Bm] blowing [E] [A] And the stars [C] are shining [D] bright
[A] Oh [C] what a night [D] this is [E] gonna be I [A] think I'll let the [C] world sleep [E] without me
I [A] got one [C] eye open, [E] one eye closed [Am] And my thin body's trembling
beneath the bedclothes
[C] heart's beating [Em] in the roof of my mouth
[G] it's almost time to [D] get out
[E] it's [A] almost time [C] to [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [D] [G] get out
I got one hand [N] on the radio
I got one hand on the radio
one hand on the window
one hand on the window
I'm a robot
[G] I'm a robot
and [D#] he's a human
[D] there's a heart
[F#m] where the noise
[D] and the stars are shining [F#m] bright
[D] as I read
a poem [F#m] on the tomp tonnet
[D] they say all humans have their [F#m] eyes
I [D] make them down
to the black [F#m] boiling lake
to [D] be replied
[F#m] on the news
[D] I'm gonna move up the goals [F#m] to a rule
[D] personally true [F#m] always.
[C] _ _ is _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [F#] he
flirting [D#] a [C#m] lot
[F#] you see and I know
I [D#] wore a sock [A] to look better than the thief
[F#] I was [D#m] just another [A] western [F#] guy with a desire [E] to be
[C#m] [F#] Satisfied one day [D#] as he [C#] chose for inspiration
[F#] The devil [B] on the [F#m] other end
_ [D#] _ [C#] _ [F] [F#] Is the [D#m] diamond [D] in his hand
[C] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [C] _
_ [D] _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
[C] _ [G] _ [D] He's got the liquor [F#m] of my tomb
Feel [D] like I see him on [F#m] the sand
[D] He's got the sign and [F#m] confession
_ [D]
He's [F#m] shaking hands
[D] He's struggling to hang [F#m] on to hope
[D] Like a clumsy sailor in a sand boat
With a bottle and basket [F#m] in my boot
[D] I'm covered in my cockpit by [F#m] the last of my [Am] blood
_ [D] _ [Am] _
[D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] He seems a [E] man [C#m] into temptation
[F#] Some object of [D#] interlaced [A] confrontation
I [F#] never said I was the [A] man I appeared [F#] to be
He's got the flesh and the bones [D#m] of [A#] necessity
[F#m] For a soul [B] of [A] fire
[F#] Swimming off of [C#] my spirit
[G] [A] I'm gonna have an elusive fit
Running off the bergata
With his tail between his legs
I'm gonna teach him a lesson
He ain't never gonna forget
All the poachers and crows
Have hit the scene of some [Bm] doomsday
They won't chew it, the meat on my
[D] I'm gonna set the hive, [F#m] wind blowin'
[D] And the stars are shining [F#m] bright
[D] He ain't never gonna have [F#m] a little
Night pride [D] when the fire's lit
But [F#m] into the skyline
[D] I'll be fliming in [F#m] sirens Drowning deep
[F#] To drown the hearts of the good and [C] the bad _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _

The size of an [D] ant he'd be satisfied
[A] _ [C] _ [D] [G] Yeah
