F Dm C A#
dark weekends in the sun out on chelsea row
F Dm Gm A#
descending the stairs frankie my one
F Dm C A#
check your makeup in the mirror come on baby let’s go
F Dm Gm A# F#
we’ll dance round this dirty town ’till the night is all done

then all the finer things sleep alone tonight
G# G# Gm Fm D#
then all the minor kings lose their thrones tonight
A#m G# A# C
don’t worry about us baby we’ll be alright

F Dm C A#
well everybody’s dying , this town’s closing down
F Dm Gm A#
their all sittin’ down at the courthouse waiting for ’em to take the flag down
F Dm C A#
i see strange flashes in the sky up above
F Dm Gm A#
gonna spend the night at the drive – in with the one that i love
G#
at dusk the stars all appear on the screen
A# A# Am Gm F
yeah just like they do each night in my dreams
Cm

D#

A# | F Dm | C A# | F Dm | Gm A# |

F Dm Gm A#
readin’ them want ads out on chelsea road
F Dm C A#
i’m winging down the street in search of new games
F Dm Gm A#
hustling through these nightlights’ diamond glow
G#
well frankie i don’t know what i m gonna find
A# A# Am Gm F
maybe nothing at all , maybe a world i can call mine
Cm D#
shining like these streetlights down here on the strand
A# | F Dm | C A# | F Dm | Gm A# |
bright as the rain in the palm of your hand

| F Dm | C A# | F Dm | Gm A# | F
