Tom : F
C G F G C G F G
[Verse 1]
Bb F C G C
I'm an elevator kid pushing buttons when I wanna go home
Bb F C G C
But my generation hasn't even got a name of its own
Am Bbsus2
We just buy what the TV sells
F Bbsus2
And almost never stop wishing we were somebody else
Gm Am
But tonight in the dark I can be myself
[Chorus]
C Am Em
When Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play
F G
We'll make 'em stay, we'll make 'em play
C Am Em
Play 'til the stars all fade
F G
We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn
C Am F
Make 'em play all night 'til the light like we'vе never seen nothin'
G C
Like wе'll never see anybody ever again
Am Em
When the Rat-Kings go away
[Próxima Parte]
F G
We'll never be the same
[Verse 2]
Bb F C G C
Z tried to edit Reddit, instead it said it had eaten her phone
Bb F C G C
She goes from tinder to cinder 'til she remembers she's a flame of her own
Am Bbsus2
You can almost lose your heart
F Bbsus2
Hoping for something better 'til it tears you apart
Gm Am
While the days get longer and this night won't start
[Chorus]
C Am Em
But when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play
[Próxima Parte]
F G C G F
We'll never be the same again
G C G F G
Oh, again
[Verse 3]
C Am
Now Joey's gotta run for the train
F G
Says he's trying to make it back to the city by ten
C Am
And Mike's on his bike with the motor running
F G
I told him trains were running all night right then
C Am
In the moonlit town after the bridge fell down
F G
There were fires and we lost some power
C Am
So we all dressed up for the ramble
F G
And ran those streets long past the witching hour
[Bridge]
Am Bb
I saw Dorothy in drag
F Bb
Taking the Tin Man for a ride
Gm Bb Csus4 C
And then Z the Cat said she knew where to go
Am Bb
Then she kissed me without a thought
F Bb
Said "Sometimes memories are all that we got
Gm Bb C
So come on, boy, let's make some at the show"
[Verse 4]
Bb F C G C
So there's some leather-wrapped Fender-strapped kid with a pick-finger twitch
Bb F C G C
He's got a recipe for radio or rain, I don't know which
Am Bbsus2
In the shadows when the lights are dowsed
F Bbsus2
The cinder kids flare while they twist and shout
Gm Am
We're the sparks in the dark that'll never go out
[Chorus]
C Am Em
So when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play
[Próxima Parte]
F G
We'll never be the same again
[Post-Chorus]
C
So say hey, when the Rat-Kings
Em F G
When the Rat-Kings, when the Rat-Kings go away
C
Say hey, when the Rat-Kings
Am Em G
When the Rat-Kings, when the Rat-Kings go away
C Am
Say when the Rat-Kings go (When the Rat-Kings go)
F G
When they go away (When they go away)
C Am Em
Say hey, when the Rat-Kings go away
F G C G F G
We'll never be the same again
[Outro]
C G F
Again
G C G F
Oh, again
G C G F G
Oh, again
C
Again
