              (intro) E C#m G#m B 
 
E               C#m 
I'm all out of hope 
                G#m               B 
One more bad dream could bring a fall 
E                  C#m 
When I'm far from home 
                       G#m 
Don't call me on the phone 
                     B 
To tell me you're alone 
E                C#m 
It's easy to deceive 
               G#m 
It's easy to tease 
                   B 
But hard to get release 
 
A                B 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
A                B 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
A                B                    F#m 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
               G#m7                      E 
Got no human grace your eyes without a face. 
 
( C#m G#m B ) 
 
E                 C#m 
I spend so much time 
                    G#m 
Believing all the lies 
                   B 
To keep the dream alive 
E               C#m 
Now it makes me sad 
                    G#m 
It makes me mad at truth 
                     B 
For loving what was you 
 
A                B 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
A                B 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
A                B                    F#m 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
               G#m7                      E 
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

When you hear the music you make a dip 
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip. 
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool. 
 
Hanging out by the state line, 
Turning holy water into wine 
Drinkin' it down, oh 
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip 
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip. 
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so 
Say your prayers. 
Say your prayers. 
Say your prayers. 
 
E                C#m 
Now I close my eyes 
             G#m 
And I wonder why 
            B 
I don't despise 
E              C#m 
Now all I can do 
                 G#m 
Is love what was once 
              B 
So alive and new 
                         F#m 
But it's gone from your eyes 
                B 
I'd better realise 
 
A                B 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
A                B 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
A                B                    F#m 
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face 
               G#m7                      E 
Got no human grace your eyes without a face. 
               G#m7                      E 
Such a human waste your eyes without a face 
 
And now it's getting worse.
