[Fm] [C]
[Fm] The ponies run, the [C] girls are young, the [Fm] odds are there to be.
You win a while, and then [C] it's done, [Fm] your little winning streak.
[A#m] And summon now to [C] deal with [Fm] your invincible [D] defeat.
You live [A#m] your life as if [C] it's real,
[C#] a [F] thousand kisses [Fm] deep.
I'm turning tricks, I'm [C] getting fixed, I'm [Fm] back on boogie street.
You lose your grip, and [C] then you slip into [C#] the masterpiece.
And maybe I had [C] miles to drive,
[Fm] and promises to [D] keep.
You [C#] ditch it all to [C] stay alive,
[C#] a [D#] thousand kisses [Fm] deep.
And
[C]
[Fm]
[A#m] [C] [Fm]
[C#]
sometimes when the [C] night is slow,
[Fm] the wretched end [D] of me.
We [C#] gather up [A#m] our [C] hearts and go,
[C#] a [G#] thousand kisses [Fm] deep.
Confined to [C#] six, we [C] pressed against the [Fm] limits of the sea.
I saw there [C#] were no [C] oceans left for [Fm] [G] [C#] scavengers like me.
[Fm] I [C#] made it to the [C] forward deck,
[Fm] I blessed our [A#] remnant fleet.
And [A#m] then consented to [C] be wrecked, [C#] a [F] thousand kisses [Fm] deep.
I'm turning [C#] tricks, I'm [C] getting fixed, I'm [Fm] back on boogie street.
I guess they won't [C#] [C] exchange the gifts that [C#] you were meant to keep.
And [Fm]
[C#] quiet is the [C] thought of you,
[Fm] the file on you [A#] complete.
Except [A#m] what we forgot [C] to do,
[C#] a [D#] thousand kisses [Fm] deep.
And [C]
[Fm]
[C#] [C]
[C#]
sometimes [A#m] when the [C] night is slow,
[Fm] [A#] the wretched end of me.
[D] We [C#] gather up our [C] hearts and go,
[C#] a [Fm] thousand kisses deep.
The ponies run, [C#] the [C] girls are young, the [Fm] odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then [C] it's done, your [C#] little winning streak.
And summer now, to [C] deal with [Fm] your invincible [A#] defeat.
[D] You [A#m] live your life as [C] if it's real,
[Fm] a [G#] thousand kisses [Fm] deep.
