D#
Days go by, no reply
      F               Cm
The smoke high on the avenue
D#                          F          Cm
You and I know that you're not gonna leave it anyway
D#
Pick me up, I know you're close
     F                  G#
The headlights running down the wall

Chorus:
D#                       G# A#
Last night I'm messing up
A#
Now I feel like dressing up
D#  Cm   Gm
I-L-Y-S-F-M

Take my chances
New romances, eyes roll on the avenue
Left on red
Daylight moving backwards 'cause you're off again
Can you fly
Higher than a hawk flies in a black-star sky?

Chorus

D#
Block after block
(Block after block
Block after block
Block after block )
F
with the speakers up
(with the speakers up with
the speakers up with the speakers up)
D#
Night after night
(Night after night Night after night
Night after night)
F                G#
we say our goodbyes

   D#                          G#
My love drips in red out of my mind
                     A#
at the edge of the sky
A#
You feel your heart break
                     D#
And you don't know why
                  Cm            Gm
You're somebody else, somebody new
 D#                         G#                        A#
"Fuck it" you said, "it's beginning to look like the end"
A#                                   D#
So sick of swimming, I'm in over my head
             Cm                Gm
No wrong or right, I know it's true

D#
Last night I'm messing up
G#                          A#
Now I feel like dressing up
D#
Last night I'm messing up
Cm                          Gm
Now I feel like dressing up
