Am        C                    F      Dm
Chaos is creeping through your pretty pictures 
Here in this land of savage dreams 
You dare to walk alone through empty streets where 
Nothing is ever what it seems 
Somebody calls you but you dare not answer 
Must be the voice of desperation 
Here in these days of joy and instant karma 
you hide your stash and keep your station

G
Just let me paint a rosey picture 
Dm                             G
where doom and gloom is not allowed 
        C
We'll go cheek to cheek 
         Am
as we squeeze into the crowd 
Dm                          G
Your living death blew me away 
                       Am       C        F         Dm
In this last ditch cabaret

Am            C                  F     Dm
You heard the laughing stock was being rounded 
to try their luck inside the yard 
Blue-blooded sporstmen and your ultra-violet ladies 
know how to take their drinkin' hard 
Oh brother don't you wish that you were like them 
Their panic never seems to show 
Tonight you're with them in this sexy cabaret 
Tonight there's nowhere else to go

G
Just let me paint a rosey picture 
Dm                             G
where doom and gloom is not allowed 
        C
We'll go cheek to cheek 
      Am
as we squeeze into the crowd 
Dm                          G
Your living death blew me away 
                        Am      C        F         Am
In this last ditch cabaret

Am               C                     F                   Dm
All the bad old days are gone. There's no one home but the lights are on
I'll be there before too long. Keep my head down right or wrong

G
Just let me paint a rosey picture 
Dm                             G
where doom and gloom is not allowed 
        C
We'll go cheek to cheek 
      Am
as we squeeze into the crowd 
Dm                          G
Your living death blew me away 
                        C           Am           Dm            G
