Chorus: Em Taking a ride to my old haunt B Em She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife My favorite color's candy apple, girl And she resides in my mind of my nightlife Em What's that I hear? You wanna go for a ride? Don't be afraid, boy, to come inside B I got the thing that you want, the fix that you need Em Chase this with a little lust and greed I'll be the devil on your shoulder saying "Hey boy, come on" For my black heart beats crimson and cloves B So operator, operator patch my boy in Em This is nightlife and I'll get under your skin Chorus Short of breath, heartbeat fast Sounds like love but you know it won't last Cheap champagne stain on an even cheaper suit Hope there's more in your pants than a bus route Red velvet halls line these sugar-coated walls Girls hang on bar stools for late last calls This town is full of snakes, mistakes, and whiskey shakes It's too late, I already cut the brakes Am Em Well, I am rolling, strolling into town B Em Is it me, or am I going crazy? This dirty city is my sugar town My little angel of death is my nightlife Em B Em Come inside... It’s just you... B Em Sugar town... Gonna make a move before I get bored If you wanna explore my vocal chord Baby girl coco dancing the cooch One hand on my knee, one hand on the hooch Why don't you stick around for one more round? This place is a circus and I know you'll be my clown 'Cause I'm a ringleader, I run the show And only when I tell ya it will be time to go Chorus: Taking a ride to my old haunts She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife My favorite color's candy apple, girl And she resides in my mind of my nightlife [Outro: Billie Joe Armstrong & Lady Cobra] (Hey, boy) She is my nightlife (Hey, boy) She is my nightlife (Hey, boy) She is my nightlife (See you later) She is my nightlife You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Em  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
