G A
you only get a single chance
G A
the rules are very plain
G A
the truth is well concealed inside
G A
the details of the game
D E
you can see it coming
D E
you can hear it from afar
D E
it’s pale and it flickers
C D G – A
like a faded movie sta – ar

D E
and up there in the castle
D E
they’re trying to make us scream
D E
by sticking thumb tacks in her flesh
C D G – A
and cancelling the dre – Am

can you find the valium?
D E
can you bring it soon?

lost johnny’s out there baying at the mo – on

G A

G A
and you’d better get it right
G A
berlin girls with sharp white teeth
G A
are waiting in the night

D E
but you ought to really get some
D E
it surely can’t be hard
D E
there’s always trouble waiting
C D G – A

about how the puppets cannot dance
C D G – A
since someone cut their stri – ings

D E
run and get the morphine
D E
for god’s sake make it brief
C D G – A
lost johnny’s out there looking for relief

and sally buys her underwear
D E
from a store where no – one goes
D E
she makes it big in photographs
C D G – A
on the strength of what she sho – ows

D E
and here inside the waiting room
D E
the radio still screams
D E
and we’re all taking tuenol
C D G – A
to murder our young dre – ams

D E
run and fetch your credit card
D E
try to make it quick
C D G – A
lost johnny’s out there trying to turn a tri – ick
