David Bowie - The Motel: chords

          F#
For we're living
            F7
In a safety zone
          F#               F7
Don't be holding back from me
       F#                 F7
We're living from hour to hour down here
           F#              F7
And we'll take it when we can

It's a kind of living which recognises
The death of the odourless man
When nothing is vanity nothing's too slow
It's not Eden but it's no sham

Chorus:
      F#        F7
There is no hell
     F#          F7
There is no shame
      F#
There is no hell
     F7
Like an old hell
      F#        F7
There is no hell
         G#
And it's lights up, boys
G#         Fm7
Lights up boys

Explosion falls upon deaf ears
While we're swimming in a sea of sham
Living in the shadow of vanity
A complex fashion for a simple man

Chorus:
And there is no hell
And there is no shame
And there is no hell
Like an old hell
There is no hell

And the silence flies
On its brief flight
A razor sharp crap shoot affair
And we light up our lives

Fm           Gm7-5           G#        D#
And there's no more of me exploding you
F#          G# D#
Re-exposing you
     F#        G# D#
Like everybody do
F#            G# D#
Re-exploding you
   F#                Fm
I don't know what to use
 E
Make somebody move
F#
Me exploding
             G#
Me exploding you
