C                    G        Am
I've sat and watched this city crumble,
     C      G        Am
Just as it was being built.
     C                 G         Am
The bigger it gets the less it's thought of,
         C                G        Am
I'm just scared of losing all that we have left.



Chorus:
        C                G                      Am
And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky.

          C                    G             Am
We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes.

     C             G             Am
And I hope someday this will all reverse, 

            C           G     Am
And send us back to the times before.
 
          C           G        Am
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of, 

C                    G        Am
Clear blue skies and climbing trees.

     C                    G        Am
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

     C                    G        Am
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?


   C                 G             Am
We used to just make friends so easily,
      C       G                   Am
Never judging anyone was how it's meant to be.
     C                    G           Am
Our parents were always heroes in our eyes,
     C     G              Am
But TV and magazines soon changed our minds.



Chorus:
        C                G                      Am
And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky.

          C                    G             Am
We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes.

     C             G             Am
And I hope someday this will all reverse, 

            C           G     Am
And send us back to the times before.
 
          C           G        Am
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of, 

C                    G        Am
Clear blue skies and climbing trees.

     C                    G        Am
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

     C                    G        Am
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?


     C             G          Am
I watched people I loved turn into rust,
C              G            Am
Wearing almost nothing they go out after dusk.
   C              G              Am
As if to be accepted you need to sell yourself,
     C                    G        Am
They need to learn there's much more to this world.



Chorus:
        C                G                      Am
And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky.

          C                    G             Am
We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes.

     C             G             Am
And I hope someday this will all reverse, 

            C           G     Am
And send us back to the times before.
 
          C           G        Am
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of, 

C                    G        Am
Clear blue skies and climbing trees.

     C                    G        Am
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

     C                    G        Am
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
