C    D#maj7
Why, why so quiet
A#        F               C         D#  A# F
Oh my mysterious country singer she asked
C      D#
My life, it's a riot
   A#          F                     C       D# A# F
I am climbing barricades in empty streets at night

When I'm down fighting shadows
Twenty-five postcards in a box in my room
Telephone conversations
Gas slowly leaking out of a heart shaped balloon

       D#maj7
It's a dangerous game
         Gm                         C
That I'm not sure if I could keep playing for long
       D#maj7
It's a dangerous game
       Gm                    C
It's a very fine line and if one step is wrong
          D#            Gm              C
I'll have no cards to play and that's why
         D#            F  A#maj7
I've got nothing to say tonight
D#maj7        F  A#maj7
Nothing to say tonight
