In the nicotine glare

C#m

of a cold naked light

the center of the street

I scream out your name as the steam

just swells around my feet

D
I hear you after midnight
A
C#m
A
from the inner city

As every little Cinderella turns

to drop dead pretty

We were built out of the darkness
A
into this West Side Story
Bm
We came together in the shadows
G
but the moon just steals our glory

Bm
Well, this is my battleground, baby
This is my plaything

The only thing I've ever known

Outside of a wedding ring

D
And I swear I heard the
A
Bm
night talking
G
D
Cursing me for being a little

more than hopeless
D
A
Telling me we're running lonely,
Bm
loose and broken
G
Stronger now on passion but
D
A
haven't we really spoken
G
And all we ever do,
A
D
is listen to the night talking

courage under cover of the dark

And it's a strange breed of the devil,
G
freeze at night to go walking in the park
