C#maj7 G#  C#maj7        G#  G#/A# G#/C
How  cruel is the golden rule
         C#maj7                  G#          C/E F
When the lives we live are only golden plated
       C#maj7                       G#                    C#maj7 G#
And I Knew That the Lights of the city were too heavy for me
           C#                   G#           C/E F
And though I carried Karats for everyone to see

Chorus:
      Fm       D#/G          G#           D#
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
Fm           D#/G           G#       D#
And all the lovers with no time for me
    Fm          D#/G    G#          D#    G#/C
And all of the mothers raise their babies to
               C#maj7
stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams
Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me
Though I carried carats for everyone to see

Chorus:
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me

And pray they don't grow up to be...
