Dm         Am                        G            Dm
I have a sequin for an eye ..Pick a rose and hide my face
Dm          Am                             G           Dm
This is the bandit’s life   ..It comes and goes and them’s the breaks
Dm         Am                  G                    Dm
Under a molten sky, beyond the road, we lie in wait
Dm         Am                  G                    Dm
You think they know us now? ..Wait ’til the stars come out   (You’ll see that)

   Am               G               Dm

I made you and now I take you back

Am                                         G                Dm
I can still feel it when you lie ...Pick a rose just to hide my face
      Am                        G                   Dm
Well, if there’s something I should know...I seek no science when there is no shape
Am         G       Dm
Under a molten sky, let the days collide ..
