[Verse 1]
 
C#maj7 Ab  C#maj7           Ab Bm Ab/C
How  cruel is the golden rule
         C#maj7                  Ab            C     F
When the lives we live are only golden plated
       C#maj7                          Ab
 Ab
And I Knew That The Lights of the city were too heavy for me
           C#                    Ab            C      F
And though I carried Karats for everyone to see
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Fm       Gm           Ab            Eb
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
Fm           Gm            Ab       Eb
And all the lovers with no time for me
    Fm        Gm      Ab           Eb   Eb/C
And all of the mothers raise their babies to
               C#maj7
stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams
          C#maj7                         Ab          C     F
Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens
      C#maj7                     Ab
  Ab
And I Knew That The Lights of the city were too heavy for me
           C#maj7                    Ab            C      F
And though I carried Karats for everyone to see
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Fm       Gm          Ab            Eb
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
Fm           Gm            Ab       Eb
And all the lovers with no time for me
     Fm        Gm      Ab           Eb   Eb/C
And all of the mothers raise their babies to
               C#maj7
stay away from me
