                C5 - G5 - F5       A5 - G5 
 
 C5    G5  F5        A5  G5    C5 
 You've been taught      that this won't do 
      F5      F5    Eb5           E5 
 They put me in the picture but the film turned blue 
   Eb5             G5 
 A glimpse of you, Turning The Town Red. 
   F5                F5                    C5 
 A head full of brand new words and a mouth full of shocks 
   F5            F5              C5 
 You're a big boy now, with a face to stop clocks. 
 

G5 
Turning the town red. 
F5                           ( F5 ) 
Turning the town red. 
 

F5                C5                      Ab5   C5 
You made your bed, and now you'd better dream in it. 
        F5                      C5            Ab5          G5             F5 
 The word that you once whispered, now you're screamin' it. 
 

C5    G5  F5        A5  G5   C5 
Days drip down       the damp wallpaper. 
 F5      F5 Eb5                  E5           Eb5                     E5 
 Pictures plastered on the ivy creeper between your old toy soldiers 
                C#5   
 and your mother's sleepers. 
 

G5 
Turning the rown red. 
F5                           ( F5 ) 
Turning the town red. 
 

F5                C5            Ab5            C5 
You made your bed, you'd better face the consequence. 
F5                        C5     Ab5     G5             F5 
A black pool opened at my feet into a dream sequence. 
 

G5 
Turning the town red. 
F5                           D5 
Turning the town red. 
G5 
Turning the town red. 
F5                           ( F5 ) 
Turning the town red. 
 

    C5    G5  F5        A5  G5 
You know I heard her call my     name 
                C5 
At least, I think that's what she said. 
         F5              F5     Eb5               E5    Eb5 
Surely I'm the correlation that's gonna cause her shame 
    E5            C#5 
So, what's she doing in my bed? 
 

G5 
Turning the town red. 
F5                           D5 
Turning the town red. 
G5 
Turning the town red. 
F5                           D5 
Turning the town red. 
G5                               } 
Turning the town red.   }       Repeat until fade. 
F5                             } 
Turning the town red.   }
