D#       G#       A#     Cm
Running wild, the city sleeps
      D#      G#             A# Cm
You're waking up and you're feeling strong,
D#            G#       A#           Cm
It wont take long, and once you're gone,
D#         G#           A# Cm
Where and why as you're moving on,

When you lie, when you do
Who's gonna tell ya? Where's the truth?
Will you see it, and will you try?
I wanna love you, but I don't know why

     Fm      D#          A#           Fm
The morning colours you blue, in the night
            D#        A#
you're the king of taboo,
            Fm    D#      A#                  C#
though you never could explain, what's your game?

Chours:
D#m  B          C#    D#m
Hold on, what's going on?
           F#/A#         B      C#    D#m
Now you're stuck in the middle, come along
D#m  B           C#   D#m
Hold on, what's going on?
           F#/A#          B      C#    D#m
'Cos you're stuck just'a little, move along

Scared to see, we've gotta try
Your running was the reason why
Nightmares rising, so unchained
You never would lose, but you played the game

The morning colours you blue
In the night, you're the king of taboo
The machine is running wild, now it's time

Chours - x2

If you can hold on and, you can't deny your way
We're running out of better time
Where will you be?
I wanna know it, I don't wanna see
Now I can't even cry, "I'm done"
You're stuck in the middle, come along

Chorus - x2
