[Dm]Ice, your only [Bb]rivers run cold
These city [Dm]lights, they shine in [Bb]silver and gold
Dug from the [Dm]night, your eyes as [Bb]black as coal[Dm] [Bb] [F]
[C]Walk on by, walk on through, [Eb]walk till you run
And don't look [Bb]back, for here, I [Dm]am[Bb]
Carn[Dm]ival, the wheels fly and the [Bb]colors spin, through alco[Dm]hol
Red wine that [Bb]punctures the skin
Face to [Dm]face, in a dry and [Bb]waterless place[F]
[C]Walk on by, walk on thorugh, so [Eb]sad to besiege your love so [Bb]head on
[F]Stay tonight, [C]stay tonight in a lie

Come on take me [Gm]away
Come on take me [A]home, home a[Dm]gain

sounding like "da-Da-DA")
Dm Dm Dm (strike three times and accent each with the third the hardest)
"da-Da-DA"
"[Bb]da-[Bb]Da-[Bb]DA"
"[Dm]da-[Dm]Da-[Dm]DA"

And if you [F]save it all, save your [C]love
