SONGBOOK NIGHT

Rock’n Roll Suicide, by David Bowie
INTRO
C G x2
C
Time takes a cigarette,
E7
puts it in your mouth
F
You pull on your finger, then another
G Am G
finger, then your cigarette
F G
The wall to wall is calling it lingers,
Am G
then you forget
F C G
Oh you’re a rock’n roll suicide
C
You’re too old to lose it,
E7
too young to choose it
F G
And the clock waits so patiently
Am G
on your song
F G
You walk past a cafe but you don’t eat
Am G
when you lived too long
F C G
Oh no no no you’re a rock’n roll suicide
C
Chev brakes are snarling
E7
as you stumble across the road
F G
But the day breaks instead
Am G
so you hurry home
F G
Don’t let the sun blast your shadow
E7 Am
don’t let the milk floats ride your mind
F D9 G7
So natural religiously unkind
C
Oh no love you’re not alone
A
You’re watching yourself but you’re too unfair
C
you got your head all tangled
A
but if I could only make you care
C#m G#m
Oh no love you’re not alone
B D#m
no matter what or who you’ve been
Bbm C#
no matter when or where you’ve seen
B D#m
all the knives to lacerate your brain
Bbm C#
I’ve had my share I’ll help you with the pain you’re
not alone
Bb C#
Just turn on me
Bb C#
You’re not alone, let’s turn on me and be
Bb C#
You’re not alone gimme your hands x3
Bb F Cm F# C#
