|A A7 A6 A
I like nightmares
|A A7 A6 A
I like being witless
|A A7 A6 A
One for the news flash
|A A7 A6 A
Cool eyewitness
|E5 F#m5 Bm G |D Dsus4 D
Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, it's happening
|A
Gotta be a fucking fool to blame TV
|D Dsus4 D
Don't get trapped in
|Bm G
If you're lucky, be the same as me
|A A7 A6 A
I like nightmares
|A A7 A6 A
Yes, I do
|D G |D
There's a simple way to die they call it news
|D G |A D/A A
There's a simple way to fly they call it booze
|G F |G
There's an easy quiet escape, just sleep and cruise
|G F |A A |
It's justifiable rape, they say you choose
And I like nightmares
I like feeling cheekless {?}
Lifting up my lighter {?}
Watching life with west {?}
'81, '82, '83, it's happening
Can we afford strike three
Don't trust the captain
He's just a boy like me
And I like nightmares, yes, I do
There's a common way to weep, they say just smoke
You can cry yourself to sleep, they say just toke
There's a path that never fails, you can't get lost
Don't need roads, you're on rails, I'll pay the cost
And I like nightmares, yes, I do

|G C |D
We were wasted, but you're only waylaid once
|G C |G
What we tasted was a voucher, pay their lunch
|C G
We robbed their banks and we took their gold
|Am Bm
And our lies in the tank must've sounded old
|A D/A |A
But we pleaded
|G C |D E |A A
I said, "You're honor were not chumps, after all, we only did it once."
We like nightmares
We taste our fitness
All kind of goulash
A taint in the midwest
'81, '82, '83, it's happening
Nothing votes interest free
Don't care what it's wrapped in
You can be abreast like me
|A A7 A6 A
And I like nightmares
|A A7 A6 A
Yes, I do
Bm G |A Bm G |A A ||
I like nightmares
