1. The ponies run, the girls are young, the
odds are there to beat,
Em B7
C
you win
a while, and then it's done, your little winning streak.
Am B7
- Em C
And summoned now to deal with
your invincible defeat,
Am B7 - C
D Em
you
live your life as if it's real, a
thousand kisses deep.

2. I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed, I’m
back on Boogie Street,
Em B7
C
you
lose your grip, and then you slip into the masterpiece.
Am
B7 - Em C
And maybe I had miles to
drive, and promises to keep,
Am B7 - C
D Em
you
ditch it all to stay alive, a
thousand kisses deep.
3. Em - B7 - Em - Em - B7 - C
Am B7 - Em C
And sometimes when the night
is slow, the wretched and the meek,
Am B7 - C D Em
we
gather up our hearts and go, a
thousand kisses deep.

4. Confined to sex, we pressed against the limits of the sea,
Em B7 - C
I saw there were no oceans
there for scavengers like me.
Am
B7 - Em C
I made it to the forward deck, I blessed our remnant fleet,
Am B7 - C D
Em
and
then consented to be wrecked, a thousand kisses deep.

5. I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed, I’m
back on Boogie Street,
Em B7 C
I guess they won’t exchange
the gifts that you were meant to keep.
Am
B7 - Em C
And quiet is the thought of
you, the file on you complete,
Am
B7 - C D Em
except
what we forgot to do, a thousand kisses deep.
6. Em - B7 - Em - Em - B7 - C
Am B7 - Em C
And sometimes when the night is slow, the wretched and the meek,
Am B7
- C D Em
we
gather up our hearts and go, a
thousand kisses deep.

7. The ponies run, the girls are young, the
odds are there to beat,
Em B7 C
you
win a while, and then it's done, your little winning streak.
Am B7 - Em C
And summoned now to deal with
your invincible defeat,
Am B7 - C D Em
you
live your life as if it's real, a
thousand kisses deep.
