_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [B] _ _ Goodies the factories stand like fire,
_ Breathing dragons _ [F#] against the sky, _ _ _
[B] And from their throats the scarlet river burns
Itself into _ [F#] smoky _ lullaby _ _ _
[E] Over neon and fluorescent _ skies
_ _ _ _ Valerie _ Kenyon, hear those engines drone
[B] I wanted to go to Mexico [F#] but I'm stranded _ here alone
[E] And once I knew a true _ love, it's been three years since he's [B] gone
And if I could get that feeling back, [F#] I'd give up _ _ everything [E] I _ _ own _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Sixteen days since I left Corona, and I traveled to this carnival town [F#] near Albertan Pea _ _
And [B] I rode the coaster _ there on the fairground, _ twisted backbone of a [F#] beast that never heals _ _
[E] And I left him skin on fortune's wheel
_ _ _ Valerie _ _ _ Kenyon, hear those engines [B] drone
I wanted to go to Mexico [F#] but I'm stranded _ here alone
[E] And once I knew a true _ love, it's been three years since he's [B] gone
And if I could get that feeling [F#] back, I'd give up _ everything [E] I _ _ own

I've [E] _ _ come so close, I'm [F#] so _ far
Just _ _ [E] to hide behind these windows here, [F#] _ from the _ [C#] outside
I [E] watch those cars and trucks race driven us [F#] down the road
As they pass [E] by
