Do you fancy a drink? I know a place called The Brink.
           C#m
D'you wanna go there?
      F#m                     
I can buzz off your smile
                        E
and there may be people you know there.

            A
They've got no rule of thumb, so on the counter I strum
        C#m
with my fingers.
      F#m
And I adore the surprise of tomorrow's sunrise,
     E
so I linger

C#            F#m
And I raise a glass, a smile or two.
B                                     A
This stuff strips the light from your bones.
C#            F#m
And I would like to stay with you,
B            E
but I leave alone

A
You're the guy on the bus whose not quite one of us.
         C#m
You hear laughter.
         F#m
And they won't let you in 'cause everyone knows
            E
what you're after.

       A
So you wear the disguise of your brilliant eyes
            C#m
drenched in flamboyance.
        F#m
And you sit by the bar
                           E
much to everyone else's annoyance.


C#            F#m
And I raise a glass, a smile or two.
B                                     A
This stuff strips the light from your bones.
C#          F#m
And I would like to leave with you,
B           E
but I stay alone.

This stuff strips the light from your bones.

And I would like to leave with you.
