Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][G]
[C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
I'm an [Bb]elevator kid pushing
but[F]tons when I wanna go [C]home[F][C]
But my [Bb]generation hasn't [F]even
got a name of its [C]own[G][C]
We just [Am]buy what the TV [Bb]sells
And almost [F]never stop wishing
we [Bb]were somebody else
But to[Gm]night in the dark I can [Am]be myself

[Verse 2]
When [C]Bobby and the Rat- [Am]Kings
[Em]come to play
[F]We'll make 'em stay
We'll [G]make 'em play
[C]Play 'til the stars [Am]all [Em]fade
[F]We'll make 'em stay 'til [G]dawn
Make [C]'em play all night 'til the [Am]light
Like we've never seen [F]nothin'
Like we'll never see
[G]anybody ever [C]again
When the Rat- [Am]Kings [Em]go away
We'll [F]never be the [G]same

[Verse 3]
Z [Bb]tried to edit Reddit, instead [F]it said
it had eaten her [C]phone[F][C]
She goes [Bb]from tinder to cinder
'Til she remem[F]bers she's
a flame of her [C]own[G][C]
You can [Am]almost lose your [Bb]heart
Hop[F]ing for something better
'til [Bb]it tears you apart
While the [Gm]days get longer and
this [Am]night won't start

[Verse 4]
But when [C]Bobby and the Rat-
[Am]Kings [Em]come to play
[F]We'll make 'em stay
[G]We'll make 'em play
[C]Play 'til the stars [Am]all [Em]fade
[F]We'll make 'em stay 'til [G]dawn
Make [C]'em play all night 'til the [Am]light
Like we've never seen noth[F]in'
Like we'll never see
[G]anybody ever [C]again
When the Rat- [Am]Kings [Em]go away
We'll [F]never be the [G]same [C]again[G][F]
[G]Oh, again
[C]Now

[Verse 5]
[F]Joe[G]y's
[C]gotta run for the train
[Am]Says he's trying to make it
[F]Back to the city by [G]ten[Am]
And Mike's on [C]his bike [F]with
the motor run[Am]ning
I told him trains were [F]running
all night right [G]then[Am]
In the moon[C]lit town after
the bridge [Am]fell down
There [F]were fires and
we lost some [G]power
So we all [C]dressed up for the [Am]ramble
And ran those streets [F]long
past the witching hour
[G]

[Verse 6]
I [Am]saw Dorothy [Bb]in drag
Taking the [F]Tin Man for [Bb]a ride
And then Z the [Gm]Cat said she
knew [Bb]where to [Gm]go[F][C]
Then she [Am]kissed me without a thought
[Bb]And said "Some[F]times memories
are [Bb]all that w[F]e [Bb]got
So come on, [Gm]boy
Let's make [Bb]some at the show"
[C]

[Verse 7]
So there's some [Bb]leather- wrapped
Fender- strapped [F]kid
With a pick- finger [C]twitch[F][C]
He's got a re[Bb]cipe for radio or [F]rain
I don't know [C]which[G][C]
In [Am]the shadows when the
lights are [Bb]doused
[F]The cinder kids flare while
[Bb]they twist and shout
We're [Gm]the sparks in the dark
[G]That'll [Am]never go out

[Verse 8]
So when [C]Bobby and the Rat-
[Am]Kings [Em]come to play
[F]We'll make 'em stay
[G]We'll make 'em play
[C]Play 'til the stars [Am]all [Em]fade
We'll [F]make 'em stay 'til [G]dawn
Make [C]'em play all night [Am]'til the light
Like we've never seen noth[F]in'
Like we'll never see
[G]anybody ever [C]again
When the Rat- [Am]Kings [Em]go away
We'll [F]never be the [G]same

[Verse 9]
So say [C]hey, when the Rat- Kings
[Em]When the Rat- Kings
[F]When the Rat- Kings go [G]away
Say hey, [C]when the Rat- Kings
[Am]When the Rat- Kings
[Em]When the Rat- Kings go a[G]way
[C]Say when the Rat- Kings
[Am](when the Rat- [F]Kings go)
When they go [G]away
(when they go away)
Say [C]hey, when the Rat- [Am]Kings [Em]go away
We'll [F]never be the same
[G]again
[C][G][F]

[Verse 10]
[G]
[C]Again[G][F]
[G]Oh, [C]again[F]
[G]Oh, [C]again[F]
[G]
Again
[C]
