[Intro]
Eb Fm11
 
 
[Verse 1]
Abadd9 Eb      Eb              Fm11
         Green light, Seven Eleven 
           Abadd9           Eb
You stop in      for a pack of cigarettes
                                Fm11
You don't smoke, don't even want    to
    Abadd9
Hey now,  check your change
Eb                     F11
  Dressed up like a car   crash
     Abadd9                        Eb
Your wheels are turnin' but you're upside down
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm11                                    Eb
    You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Fm11                                    Eb
    Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
  Fm11           Abadd9
Oh    no, is that      what it is?
 
 
[Verse 2]
Eb           Eb        Fm11
  Red lights,  grey morning
        Abadd9             Eb
You stumble   out of a hole  in the ground
                  Fm11
A vampire or a victim
          Abadd9
It depends      on who's around
Eb                                   F11
  You used to stay in to watch the adverts
             Abadd9           Eb
You could lipsynch to the talk  shows
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm11                                    Ebmaj7/G
    And if you look, you look through me
                                 Abadd9
And when you talk, you talk at me
                                Bb
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
 
 
[Chorus]
                Fm11                                Eb
If I could stay,    then the night would give you up
Fm11                                  Eb
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
Fm11               Abadd9               Eb
Stay, and the night      would be enough
 
 
[Verse 3]
        Eb        Fm11
Faraway,  so close
            Abadd9           Eb
Up with the static and the radio
                     Fm11
With satellite television
              Abadd9
You can go anywhere:
Eb             F11
  Miami, New Orleans
   Abadd9          Eb
London, Belfast and  Berlin
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm11
    And, if you listen, I can't call
Ebmaj7/G                                     Abadd9
        And, if you jump, you just might fall
                            Bb
And, if you shout, I'll only  hear you
 
 
[Chorus]
                Fm11                                Eb
If I could stay,    then the night would give you up
Fm11                                  Eb
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
Fm11            Ebmaj7/G
Stay with the demons you drowned
Abadd9         Bb
Stay  with the spirit I found
     Fm11             Abadd9               Eb
Stay,    and the night      would be enough
 
 
[Outro]
Eb Fm11 Abadd9 Eb
Fm11 Abadd9
Eb
             Eb          Fm11
Three o'clock  in the morning
           Abadd9           Eb
It's quiet,      there's no one around
                          Fm11
Just the bang and the clatter 
        Abadd9
As an angel   runs to ground
Eb                      Fm11
  Just the bang and the clatter
        Abadd9
As an angel   hits the ground
              Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Is that what it is

Red lights, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip sync to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay and the day would keep its trust
Stay and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you

If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep its trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough

Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground
