(Ska Upstrokes)

[Verse 1]
Em                G
Ten thirty at the shoarma joint
A                 Em
Fueling up for another night
Em                                G
You get your broodje doner and a pack of smokes
A                           Em
Two white pills and you're good to go
Em                        G
Warm rain falling on the cracked cement
           A                         Em
And if you close your eyes this city almost seems innocent
Em                         G
Dressed in camoflage and beat down kicks
A                             Em
On a midnight patrol thru the kingdom of the wicked


[Chorus]
E5          G5   A5           E5
Put on your coat head out the door
E5                      G5
Spend your money at the poolhall
       A5                  E5
Wonder what you're working for
E5                         G5         A5              E5
Now you're outside smoking cigarettes standing in the rain
E5              G5
Waiting for the nightbus
A5
To take you home again

[Verse 2]
Em                G
Somewhere out in chinatown
A                                Em
At a drum n bass party in a beat down warehouse
Em                G
The generator has broken down
A                             Em
The music stops the lights go out
Em                G
And we're all praying for a miracle here
A                                   Em
Postpone the dawn before we make it home again
Em                G
Like a vampire with a tan
A                                   Em
And when the sun comes up you're the last one standing
Em                G                   A                    Em
Feels like you're spinning while this world stays stuck in place
Em              G                   A             Em
But there ain't nothing here you're missing anyway


[Chorus]
E5          G5   A5           E5
Put on your coat head out the door
E5                      G5
Spend your money at the poolhall
       A5                  E5
Wonder what you're working for
E5                         G5         A5              E5
Now you're outside smoking cigarettes standing in the rain
E5              G5
Waiting for the nightbus
A5
To take you home again
