F#
     Here in this room of glass and steel

                         D#m
     With the TV and the tube I'm watching with my eyes

       B                 C#       B             F#
     Things are getting spacier quelle surprise


     From the bar the circus calls

                                    D#m
     Check the smile and crawl the halls it all comes back to me

      B                  C#            B   F#
     With the life of a rock and roll refugee

              D#m             B             C#                    D#m
     And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone

             B               C#                D#m
     And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more

            B                   C#             F#
     And I hope you find the strength to carry on


     When will we ever learn

                                   D#m
     It's all too much it's such a burn when it all goes up in flames

           B                C#                B               F#
     The trick is trying to balance all the pleasure and the pains

              D#m             B             C#                    D#m
     And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone

             B               C#                D#m
     And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more

              B                   C#             F#
     Still I hope you find the strength to carry on


     In this world of flesh and bone

                               D#m
     Check the girl and wander home alone it's all the same

          B                  C#                 B                F#
     I'm sick and tired and tired and sick of playing all these games

              D#m  B  C#   D#m  B  C#
     And it's hard      so hard

                D#m  B  C#           D#m  B  C#           D#m  B  C#
     Glass and steel      glass and steel

                D#m  B  C#           D#m  B  C#           D#m  B  C#
     Glass and steel
