A Night On The Town

Em
I've been misplaced in so many ways
Bb                                     Em
Broken battlegrounds  hiding veils of delicate deceit
Am
Yet here I breathe
Em
Teeth still gleam from holy water
      C
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
   B7                   Em                    Am
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
      D      C
Ans voices sing:

B7
"Were we erased like common thieves?
Em
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
B7                              C
All because we never written a word."

            G
What will I see  tonight in these eyes
    D           Em            C
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Em    D           G
      What will I see  tonight in these eyes
    D           Em            C                Em    D
And what will I know when the morning comes?

B7                                      Em
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
B7
Would we arrive at agreeable musings?
Em             D       C
Sentimental or just confusing
   B7
We lost what we had but we took it back
Am                     G          C
Friends in the gutter  enjoy one another
B7                                                    C
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand

Em  D           G
    What will I see  tonight in these eyes
    D           Em            C
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Em  D           G
    What will I see  tonight in these eyes
    D           Em            C
And what will I know when the morning comes?

Em  G           Am
I'm not who you think I am
B7              C
  And even if I thought you'd known
B7                   Am
  I never would have told you so
          G
And more alarming

            C        C#º   D
I would have done the very same
           C          C#º       D
Would have stole more than your name
           C          C#º        D     D#º     Am
Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders
             B7                    (B7)
I was in the wrong place... At the right time

(Em D G
G  D  Em  C) (2x)

    Em         D         G
And what's the worst I'd see
   (G)      D           Em    C
By giving myself to the earth below me
    Em          D       G
Not knowing how far I'd fall
   (G)     D        Em   C
by casting away the ordinary?
     Em       D     G
Just how long can I stay
   (G)      D      Em        C
in illusions formed here long before me?
    Em       D      G
And how long can I breathe
    (G)   D           Em   C
the stolen breath here undeneath?

E            G      D          C
There's that subtle smile that did me in
D   E           G    D           C
She moves an agony reminds where I've been
D   E                   G        G      C
She breathes  "I'd never let this happen again."

Where's her heart?
Mimicking the patriarch?
She's naive
