Am                 F
Eyes flash in the dark
       C                       E
Can I give you a hit for your pinball heart?
Am                  F        C
It's not heaven but it's a start
Am              F
So lightly we tread
          C                       E
You were calling me up from your hospital bed
Am                 F     C
Now we're doing it all again

Chorus:
          F
It's the beat in your chest
           Am            E
It's the smoke on your breath
        Am                            F
As the dopamine begins to light your eyes
                         C
There's nothing but the dust and dirt
                 E7
to keep us up tonight
        Am                                 F
And my heart is singing, screaming, "I'm alive"
                   C
Oh, darling, if we end it all at
                    E
least you're by my side
                  Am F C
And we can never die

You dance sugar-sweet
Wearing nothing but furs and the shoes on your feet
Who knows when we'll meet again
And it's always the same
See the drink couldn't wash out
the taste of your name
Can you tell me it's not the end?

Chorus

We can never die

As the dopamine begins to light your eyes
There's nothing but the dust and dirt
to keep us up tonight
And my heart is singing, screaming, "I'm alive"
Oh, darling, if we end it all at least
you're by my side
And we can never die
