              C                          E
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
                  F                    G                 Am
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
G                    F           G                    Am
The wall to wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
G        F                              C G
Oh-oh-oh-oh, you're a rock'n roll suicide

You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

                  C                        E
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
         F             G                 Am
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
G              F               G
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
               E                    Am
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
            F          D9          G7
They're so natural, religiously unkind

Chorus:
                         C
Oh no love, you're not alone
                        A
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
            C
You got your head all tangled up but if
            A
I could only make you care
   C#m                  G#m
Oh no love, you're not alone
         B                    D#m
No matter what or who you've been
          A#m                   C#
No matter when or where you've seen
          B                           D#m
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
             A#m                           C#
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone

A# B C C#                                 A#
          Just turn on with me and you're not alone
A# B C C#                      A#
          Let's turn on and be not alone (wonderful)
A# B C C#                                A#
          Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful (wonderful)
A# B C C#                                A#
          Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful (wonderful)
A# B C C#                 Fm  Cm F# C#
          Oh, gimme your hands
