[Verso 1]

E 
He shaved his head at the airport 
                                 B 
In a bar at the end of the concourse 
A 
He said "You're kind of catching me at a transitional time 
      B            C#m            B 
I'm a bright light burning into a dark horse." 
E 
She said "I'll strap on the saddle 
                                         B 
And I'm sorry but this city's a cesspool 
A 
I've kissed and I've cackled with half of these jackals 
A 
Still couldn't get any jet fuel."

A Residence Inn at the top of the exit 
B           C#m           B 
You pay the admission and here's what you get 
E 
The stench of death in the credits 
E 
The montage set to the Time of Your Life 
A 
A shot in the dark in a bar that's too bright 
A 
A window sucking up all the available light, right?

A 
On a spaceship shaped like a Gibson Marauder 
A 
The pilot kinda looked like Kirk Hammett
