VERSE 1 G I grew up blind just like everyone's child in the warmth of milk and deceit smothered by love and the chemical dust there was never enough to believe BRIDGE: Em They chewed me up D9 they spat me out G of their system and onto their street G F and the rest of my life was spent to forget D9 C G all the greatness that could never be CHORUS: Em Oh beautiful town C G I remember you blacker than the night Em the whores and the sick mouths C G the bad taste and the neon lights Em Oh beautiful town, C G where are you now with your binge insecurities? Em C I shot you down beautiful town F because you tear your children G into pieces VERSE 2 G Absence twisted with fondness is the horror I couldn't forget programmed into great art of family, lies and debts BRIDGE 2: [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/i/iamx/279656.html ] Em D9 too much expectation G followed by hope and then hate in the mess G F and the rest of my life was a glorious test D9 C G of my will and my selfish neglect CHORUS: Em Oh beautiful town C G I remember you blacker than the night Em the whores and the sick mouths C G the bad taste and the neon lights Em Oh beautiful town, C G where are you now with your binge insecurities?
