        B7
I got a chrome plated heart
I got wings on these fingers trying to tear it apart
                A7
 I got angels crying from up above
                E7
 And they got rust in their eyes
                                        C#m

 They got rust on their love   But I have learned
                 A
to leave no stone unturned
 G#m                       A               C#m
                     A
And keep the wall against my back
And the love is real as the day is long
E7
 And the night is black

 (same chords as the above)

I got a two dollar stare
Midas in my touch and Deliliah in my hair
I got bad intentions on the soles of my shoes
With this red hot fever and chromium blues
And I will feel another lover's wheel
And drive for miles and not look back
And the love is real as the day is long
And the night is black
As black as night
            E
 And I'll dance in time and the times are rough
           C                             E
 And I'll pay the price and I'll pray that it's enough
                                                    D
 And just outside the door where it always rains
 C
 I'll take the time to polish these scratches and these stains
 (back to first verse)

 And the only way I know where the train will go
 Is when I'm sleeping on the tracks
 And the love is real as the day is long
 And the night is black
 And the niight is black
 As black as night
