D# F7 Green light, Seven-Eleven G# D# You stop in for a pack of cigarettes D# F7 You don't smoke, don't even want to G# D# Hey now check your change D# F7 Dressed up like a car crash G# D# Your wheels are turnin' but you're upside down Fm D# You say when he hits you, you don't mind Fm D# Because when he hurts you, you feel alive F7 G# D# Oh, is that what it is? Red lights, grey morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depends on who's around You used to stay in to watch the adverts You could lip-synch to the talk shows Fm And if you look, you look through me D#/G And when you talk, you talk at me G# A# And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing Chorus: Fm D# If I could stay then the night would give you up Fm D# Stay and the day would keep it's trust Fm G# D# Stay and the night would be enough Faraway, so close Up with the static and the radio With satellite television You can go anywhere: Miami, New Orleans London, Belfast and Berlin And if you listen I can't call And if you jump you just might fall And if you shout I'll only hear you Chorus: If I could stay then the night would give you up Stay then the day would keep it's trust Stay with the demons you drowned Stay with the spirits I found Stay and the night would be enough Three o'clock in the morning It's quiet, there's no one around Just the bang and the clatter As an angel runs to ground Just the bang and the clatter As an angel hits the ground You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  D#  Fm  F7  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
