Chorus:
 B                 D#m
Desperate, but not hopeless
G#m                       E      Em
I feel so useless in the murder city
Desperate, but not helpless
The clock strikes midnight in the murder city

B          D#m            G#m
I'm wide awake after the riot
E           B            F#
This demostration of our anguish
B           D#m            G#m
This empty laugher has no reason
E             B                F#
Like a bottle of your favorite poison
E                         Em
We are the last call but we're still pathetic

Chorus

Christian's crying in the bathroom
And I just want to bum a cigarette
We've come so far, we've been so wasted
It's written all over our faces
We are the last call and we're so pathetic.

Chorus:
Desperate, but not hopeless
I feel so useless in the murder city
Desperate, but not helpless
The clock strikes midnight in the murder city
Desperate, but not hopeless
I feel so useless in the murder city
Desperate, but not helpless
The clock strikes midnight in the.
