FG-Am
The city stays high, all night
F
Lit up and shivering
CG-Am
Like a pinball table of fireflies
FCG-Am
An echo of home, on the edge of life
FC
Shot through the veins of an angel
G-AM
I'm a devil in exile
DF
But if you have forgotten
AM
Your precious mother tongue
G
What do you think your mother
D
Would say of what you've done?
F
And if you can't remember the place
AmG
You call a home, or having trouble placing
DGm
Who's calling on the phone...
FCG-AM
FCG-Am
Dip the nose of the car to the sugar lines
F
Out to the desert
CG-Am
Under cinnamon hills and moonshine
FCG-Am
He said 'what can I do to make you mine?'
FC
Kiss out the twang from my lips
G-Am
On the way to big-time
DF
But if you have forgotten
AM
Your precious mother tongue
G
What do you think your mother
D
Would say of what you've done?
F
And if you can't remember the place
AmG
You call a home, or having trouble placing
DGm
Who's calling on the phone...
