Selection chords: Olivia Martin

 D           Em
Green light, Seven Eleven
      G               D
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
                    Em
You donʼt smoke, donʼt even want to
  G              D
Hey now, check your change
             Em
Dressed up like a car crash
    G                  D
The wheels are turning but youʼre upside down

 Em                       D
You say when he hits you, you donʼt mind
 Em                       D
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
 Em  G         D
 Is that what it is?

Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It dependʼs on whoʼs around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows

 Em                    F#m
And if you look, you look through me
                   G
And when you talk itʼs not to me
                      A
And when I touch you, you donʼt feel a thing

         G           Em           D
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
 G         Em           D
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
 G         Em           D
Stay, and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satelite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I canʼt call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout Iʼll only hear you

         G           Em           D
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
 G         Em           D
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
 G         F#m
Stay with the demons you drowned
 G         A
Stay with the spirit I found
 G         Em       D
Stay and the night would be enough

Three oʼclock in the morning
Itʼs quiet and thereʼs no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground
