The (G)curves around (C)midnight(Em7/B) (Am7)
Aren't (C/G)easy to (D)see.(high notes run: f# pull off to e-d, to…
(G), highlight b-note) The flashing red (C)warning,(Em7/B) (F)

(C) In the (G)long distance (C)phone calls,(Em7/B) (F)
There's a (G)voice on the (C)line.(Em7/B) (F)
E(G)lectrical (C)miles (Em7/B) (Am7)
That (C/G) soften the (D)time. (high notes…)
(G) And dynamite, (C)too,(Em7/B) (Am7)
