Blue light on the avenue

An empty glass, the lady sings
B                   E
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
B       E
Blinded you lost your way
B                       E  
Through the side streets

and the alleyway
B                     E
Like a star exploding in the night
B                   
  Falling to the city
    E
in broad daylight
