A5 
Do you fancy a drink, an old place called The Brink
           C#5
D'you wanna go there?
      F#5                     
I can buzz off your smile.
                        E5
There may be people you know there.

            A5
They've got no rule of thumb, so on the counter I strum
        C#5
with my fingers
      F#5
And I adore the surprise of tomorrow's sunrise,
     E5
so I linger

C#5            F#5
And I raise a glass, a smile or two
B5                                     A5
This stuff strips the light from your bones
C#5            F#5
And I would like to stay with you
B5            E5
but I leave alone

A5
You're the guy on the bus whose not quite one of us
         C#5
You hear laughter
         F#5
And they won't let you in cause everyone knows
            E5
what you're after

       A5
So you wear the disguise of your brilliant eyes
            C#5
drenched in flamboyance
        F#5
and you sit by the bar
                           E5
much to everyone else's annoyance


C#5            F#5
And I raise a glass, a smile or two
B5                                     A5
This stuff strips the light from your bones
C#5          F#5
And I would like to leave with you
B5           E5
But I stay alone

A5  C#5  F#5  E5  (x2)

C#5            F#5
And I raise a glass, a smile or two
B5                                     A5
This stuff strips the light from your bones
C#5          F#5
And I would like to leave with you
B5
This stuff strips the light
D5
This stuff strips the light 
B5                                     A5       B5
This stuff strips the light from your bones
          E5      A5
From your bones
