F#5 - B5 - A5
F#5
Everybody in the funhouse
B5 A5
says they want out
F#5
But we’re taking our time
B5 A5
’cos we’re in love with the time
F#5
Whole generations
B5 A5
thinking of themselves as infidels and pop stars
F#5
While the bomb loses patience,
B5 A5
we line up and just lean against the bar
Chorus:
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love
F#5
Caught in the headlights
B5 A5
Wide-eyed and ready to receive
F#5
We are the dead life,
B5 A5
locked in dogfights, lost in disbelief
F#5
And these dark days
B5 A5
make the nights seem brighter than they are
F#5
So while fleet street rolls and the
B5 A5
moon glows in the funhouse, the fun starts
Chorus:
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love, we’re
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love, love

(G) F#5
Born in the half-light
B5
of threats and bribes
A5
in a hopeless porn parade
F#5
We get the dog’s life
B5 A5
titbits train us what to wear, what not to say.
F#5
When you’re footloose and
B5 A5
you just feel limbless, life gets in the way
F#5
So we get loaded or
B5 A5
totally legless but stay the same
Chorus:
