The song:
(Intro)
Amaj7, riff 1, E, G#5
Amaj7, riff 1, E, riff 2, D5
(verse 1)
[Amaj7]the useless drag of another day
the endless drags of a death rock [E]boy[G#5]
[Amaj7]mascara sure and lipstick lost
E (riff 2) D5 Amaj/riff 4
glitter burned by restless thoughts of being forgotten
(Chorus 1)
F#5 Amaj E(vii, riff 3)
and in your sad machines
F#5 Amaj E(vii, riff 3)
you'll forever stay
F#5 Amaj E(vii) D5 Amaj7
desperate and displeased with whoever you are
Amaj7 (main riff)
and you're a star
[E] [G#]
(Verse 2)
Amaj7 (this one holds for 4 measures) E G#5
somewhere he pulls his hair down over a frowning smile
Amaj7 E (riff1)D5 Amaj
a hidden diamond you cannot find a secret star that cannot shine over to you
(Pre Chorus)
C#5 D5 Amaj/riff 4
may the king of gloom,
C#5 D5 E(vii)/riff 5
be forever doomed
(Chorus 2)
F#5 Amaj E(vii, riff 3)
and in your sad machines
F#5 Amaj E(vii, riff 3)
you'll forever stay
F#5 Amaj E(vii, riff 3)
burning up in speed
F#5 Amaj E(vii) D5 Amaj(let chord ring and feedback)
lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
(interlude, guitar with sustain, other guitars play glissandos around Amaj)

C#5 D5 E(vii) riff 5
then you're giving up
(Chorus 3)

and in your sad machines
F#5 Amaj E(vii, riff 3)
you'll forever stay
F#5 Amaj E(vii, riff 3)
