Intro: Eb

Verse 1:
Eb
  They heard me singing and
                 Cm
they told me to stop
Quit these pretentious 
Bb         Ab             Eb
things and just punch the clock
Eb
  These days my life I 
               Cm
feel it has no purpose
                      Bb
But late at night the feelings 
Ab          Eb
swim to the surface


Verse 2:
Eb
  Cause on the surface the
     Bb/D   Cm 
city lights shine
They're calling at me
Bb       Ab        Eb
come and find your kind
Eb
  Sometimes I wonder if
            Bb/D  Cm
the World's so   small
                  Bb
That we can never get
 Ab            Eb
away from the sprawl


Chorus:
Ab             Eb
Living in the sprawl
Ab            Eb
Dead shopping malls rise 
     Ab               Eb
like mountains beyond mountains
Bb/D        Cm
And there's no end in sight
                    Bb
I need the darkness someone
Ab             Eb
please cut the lights


Post Chorus: Eb--


Verse 3:
Eb
  We rode our bikes 
          Bb/D Cm
to the nearest park
Sat under the swings 
Bb  Ab            Eb
and kissed in the dark
Eb
  We shield our eyes 
           Bb/D Cm
from the police lights
            Bb
We run away but
   Ab         Eb
we don't know why


Verse 4:
Eb
  On the black river
         Bb/D   Cm
the city lights shine
They're screaming at us
Bb       Ab        Eb
we don't need your kind
Eb
  Sometimes I wonder if 
            Bb/D  Cm
the world's so   small
                  Bb
That we can never get 
 Ab            Eb
away from the sprawl


(Repeat Chorus)
