Hey golden boy, don't let the darkness into, take you away from yourself

       G/B                  Am               G
Nobody else, there's nobody left to make you run

C9                       G/B           Am
Somebody new, maybe it's you, only bereft of meaning

G            D                     Em                G           D
One of these days, you're going to wake up wondering how it went down

G         D                     Em
Then in a daze, you're going to make up something

Pre-Verse Lick            C9
And wallow around in your room 

           G/B               Am                G
Maybe it's soon, or maybe it won't be for some time (maybe it won't be for some time)

              C9             G/B                Am
I hope you'll be thinking of me, and I hope you won't be lonely

Chorus:

G         A    Em                  C9
Hang your head, but don't let your hair fall out

     G         A   Em
Just hang your hat, at somebody else's house

Verse 2:

G             D                Em                G           D
Game, set and match, I have to give that to you, you are the man

G               D               Em   
Wait, there's a catch, everyone sees right through you


Pre-Verse Lick            C9
But that was the plan all along

                 G/B                Am               G
Just tell me I'm wrong, tell me you wanted something else (Tell me you wanted something more)

                C9                 G/B                     Am              Bm7 C9
You entered the code that made you explode, now I hope you won't be lonely anymore

Chorus:

G         A    Em                  C9
Hang your head, but don't let your hair fall out

     G         A   Em
Just hang your hat, at somebody else's house

Bridge:

Bm7     C9
No, no, no; you're not a quitter

   D                    Em
So don't, don't, don't, don't you be bitter

Bm7     C9
Go, go, go where you'll glitter away
