So, the basic chords are simply: Gm, Cm, Bb, F. But KoC doesn't settle
with that, so the dissonate chords are:

Gsus4 : x30033
Cm x : xx1333
Bb: xx3331
Fsus2: x33011

"Why, why so quiet

Bb	Fsus2		  Gsus4		      Cmx  Bb  Fsus2
 oh my mysterious country singer," she asked


Gsus4    Cmx
my life it's a riot
Bb		Fsus2	      Gsus4 		     Cmx  Bb  Fsus2
 I am climbing barricades in empty streets at night


[intro guitar]

when I'm down fighting shadows
twenty-five postcards in a box in my room
telephone conversations
gas slowly leaking out of a heart shaped balloon

Gsus2
it's a dangerous game
Fsus2		                 Gsus2
that I'm not sure if I could keep playing for long
Gsus2
it's a dangerous game,
Fsus2				 Gsus2
it's a very fine line and if one step is wrong


Cmx		     Bb	    Gsus2
I have no cards to play and that's why
Cmx		     Bb
I've got nothing to say tonight
