[Verse 1]
 D               G
Lipstick stains and runaways
  D                       G
Hearts tattooed on your prison sleeves
D                  G
Angels shooting up   in your arms
 D                        G
Hustling chords for some rock'n'roll


[Pre-Chorus]
 D                    G
Hush baby, baby now, don't you cry
 D                            G
Mama's gonna buy you some collision time
  A
Chasing ghosts with that old guitar
     G
It's 5 am and the streets feel warm


[Chorus]
    D     G
Go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden


[Verse 2]
 D               G
Calling up Mr. Pharmacy
     D                  G
To trade some pain for some getaway
  D                      G
Scarves and boots on the avenue
     D                           G
Your arm draped across your new favorite girl


[Pre-Chorus]
       A
Let's dance tonight and cheat some death
             G
Cause you've only lived once you've found regret


[Chorus]
    D     G
Go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden


[Post-Chorus]
 A
Hush baby, baby, don't you die
 G
Mama's gonna buy you some real good times

[Verse 3]
 D               G
Lipstick stains and runaways
 D
London boys
        G
Midget submarines
D                          G
Maps of the city strung through your brain
  D                    G
Dead men, they don't feel no pain


[Pre-Chorus]
 D                    G
Hush baby, baby now, don't you cry
 D                            G
Mama's gonna buy you some collision time
  A
Chasing ghosts with that old guitar
     G
It's 5 am and the streets feel warm


[Chorus]
    D     G
Go Sudden

Nikki go Sudden

          D     G
Nikki go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden
          D     G
Nikki go Sudden

Hush baby, baby, don't you die
