Cm
Hey guys, turn it up to get sleazy
Twist it in a vice
Nobody said it was easy
Just use your naked eyes, oh
F
How to see and how to hide it
How to save it
Well, maybe, maybe, maybe
Cm
You can take it and eat it,
and chew your life supply

Chorus:
Dm                   Gm           A#
Where's the real life  in your illusion?
On the dark side your power's in confusion
Do the dance, do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen

Don't you feel edgy?
Bite your lips and bleed
Conversation is empty
Abandoned in the freeze
Freedom is your condemnation
Free to say: Well, maybe
Maybe. maybe. maybe
You can take it or leave it
Just need a little hit tonight

Chorus

Maybe, maybe, maybe you can try to believe it
Just need a little help tonight

Chorus - x2

Hear it when you listen
You don't hear when you don't listen
Hear it when you listen
You don't hear when you don't listen...
