_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Somewhere a _ child [D] is crying _
_ _ [C] _ _ himself to [Bm] sleep
_ _ As [Am] I [C] pray _ _ the [G] _ [Am] Lord [G] _ [C] my [D] _ soul to _ [Bm] [Am] keep
_ [G] And as [Em] my _ _ _ last _ [D] _
amendment slowly [C] _ fades _ [Bm] away
The _ _ night _ [Am] _
_ [D] shift _ [G] takes [Am] over _
[Bm] [C] for the [D] _ _ _ dying _ _ day
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
A short order facial reflection _ [B] leans back from a spot on the grill
And [G] the only sound that makes sense anymore [C] is the jingle of change in the till _
_ [Bm] Coffee and [E] conversation, _ still the [C] tune doesn't [D] feel quite right _
Like an ongoing curse, things have been [Bm] getting worse [Am] ever since he started [G] work in the night
_ A _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] lady paints her eyelids up golden, cause [B] they reflect the neon moonlight
And she [G] waits for the man of her dreams to [C] dance across the floor tonight
_ She [Bm]
swears there's no [E] commitment, _ but you know [F#m] that she's [G] looking for one
[Em] But she [D] settles for less, cause she [Bm] figures it's [Am] best to do it in the _ [Em] name of fun
_ _ [C] _ _ _ She does it in the [Em] _ name of fun
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _

A _ [G] soon to be famous musician, cranks [B] out top 40 tunes in the bar
[G] While his mind is somewhere on vacation _ [C] Far away from his voice and guitar
_ _ [Bm] Seeking a cheap [E] imitation _ _ Valentino tries being [D] late to school
[G] _ [Em] But it's 45 [C] on the [Bm] 15th half There's [D] just got to be something [Em] _
more
_ _ He says [Am] to [C] himself, is there really something [Em] _
_ _ more?
_ _ Could anybody tell [C] me, could anybody tell [Am] me what I [Em] am _ living for? _ _
