[Verse]  
G                       D5
Wonder at the scarlet avenger
D5                   C    Em   Am
Who tore out all my vitals
Am              B/G  C         D5
Washed them pink and clean
D5                     C         Em
Never did I see such an ugly confession
C           Em          Am                 
Sprung from my lips and met with open arms
D5                   C            Em           C     Em
Such a prize must be showered with better than 'never sure'
       C     Em
No I'm owing more
Am                   C
It's a shot of neon crimson to the brain

[Verse] 
G                              D5
Lost sight in the streets of Manhattan
D5                       C     Em       Am
Walked alone through the George Square
Am                  B/G  C          D5
Down the old fifth avenue 
D5                     C         Em        
Never had I felt more alone in the big lights
  C      Em         Am            C 
I almost told you I wasn't coming home
D5                        C          Em     
And all the buildings were hiding my view of
C          Em      C      Em
Where I'm from and what I want
Am             C
It's a shot of neon crimson to the brain

[Verse] 
G                           D5  
Taste me, it's not wrong to embrace me
                     C     Em   Am
I know I seem like a stranger
Am                B/G  C
Like a song you used to sing
D5                              C
But here I, here I stand at your feet
            Em     C        Em   
And you're finding words to say
        Am              C            
But the only thing that matters anyway
     Am            C                
Is a shot of neon crimson to the brain
