Intro: F C G G

Verse Chords: F C G G (x8)

Another guitar plays something like this over the top fairly quietly:

D|--3-3-2-2-5-5-5-5---|
A|---3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5--|
E|--------------------|


On a ferris wheel looking out on Coney Island
Under more stars than there are prostitutes in Thailand
Our hair in the air, our lips blue from cotton candy
When we kiss it feels like a flying saucer landing

Chorus Chords: Dm Dm Am G C F C C (x2)

Another guitar plays:

e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|--0--0-2-3-2-0-------------------23332------23332--|
A|---------------3-0---0----0-3--3-------3--3--------|
E|-----------------------3---------------------------|

(Play twice but leave off the last bit second time around)

But I can't sleep
mmm 'cause you've got strange powers
You're in my dreams
ooh with those strange powers.

Verse 2

Same chords are verse 1, but now the guitar on top plays (quickly):

e|----3---1---0---1-0--------------|
B|--1---1---1---1-----1-3----------|
G|------------------------0--0--0--|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|

In Las Vegas where the electric bills are staggering
The decor hog wild and the entertainment saccharin
What a golden age, what a time of right and reason
The consumer is king and unhappiness is treason

Repeat Chorus except sometimes the lead guitar varies the riff:

e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|--0--0-2-3-2-0---------------------23332------23332--|
A|---------------3-0--0---0---003--3-------3--3--------|
E|-------------------------333-------------------------|

Verse 3

(All the same as verse 2)

The sun comes down like honey, the moon comes down like mercury
The stars fall down like money, you come down to me

Repeat Chorus

Outro
