Intro: Bm Em B 

verse 1 
Em 
Hello 
                  D 
Pardon me if I forget your name

But not every hollow is sleepy, is this one? 
    B 
The heads loll just the same 

verse 2 
Em 
Oh lord 
                       D 
Just like the slough uptown 
   C 
Parade through the ballrooms 
                           B* 
Decay in your costumes and dance

Dance till the lights go down 

verse 3 
Em 
Come now 
                   D 
Is that any way to talk to me? 
    C 
Corrupting the young with your uncivil tongue 
     B 
What a shame if you misspeak now 

verse 4 
Em 
Somehow 
                          D 
Danced 'til the lights go down 
     C 
It's curtains for you, jump the back of the queue 
            B                                             C 
And they'll break our necks like we do when the lights go down

Dance till the lights go down

Bridge 
Em             C              B              C 
Shake like you shake when you shake with me, goes down
