Hey golden boy, don't let the darkness into, take you away from yourself
G/B Am G
Nobody else, there's nobody left to make you run
C9 G/B Am
Somebody new, maybe it's you, only bereft of meaning
G D Em G D
One of these days, you're going to wake up wondering how it went down
G D Em
Then in a daze, you're going to make up something
Pre-Verse Lick C9
And wallow around in your room
G/B Am G
Maybe it's soon, or maybe it won't be for some time (maybe it won't be for some time)
C9 G/B Am
I hope you'll be thinking of me, and I hope you won't be lonely
Chorus:
G A Em C9
Hang your head, but don't let your hair fall out
G A Em
Just hang your hat, at somebody else's house
Verse 2:
G D Em G D
Game, set and match, I have to give that to you, you are the man

G D Em
Wait, there's a catch, everyone sees right through you
Pre-Verse Lick C9
But that was the plan all along
G/B Am G
Just tell me I'm wrong, tell me you wanted something else (Tell me you wanted something more)
C9 G/B Am Bm7 C9
You entered the code that made you explode, now I hope you won't be lonely anymore
Chorus:
G A Em C9
Hang your head, but don't let your hair fall out
G A Em
Just hang your hat, at somebody else's house
Bridge:
Bm7 C9
No, no, no; you're not a quitter
D Em
So don't, don't, don't, don't you be bitter
Bm7 C9
Go, go, go where you'll glitter away
