Intro: E  A E A A E A x4

    E             A        E
The summer that I broke my arm
  B      B/A      B/C#   F#5
I waited for your letter
  E               A       E
I have no feeling for you now
    B      B/A      B/C#    F#5
Now that I know you better

E  A E A A E A x2

  E                      A         E
I wish that I could have loved you then
  B        B/A     B/C#    F#5
Before our age was through
    E        A         E
And before a world war does with us
    B    B/A     B/C#  F#5
Whatever it will do


E  A E A A E A x2

E                       A        E
Dreamed I drove home to Houston
     B                B/A         B/C#  F#5
On a highway that was underground
      E                 A        E
There was no light that we could see
      B        B/A     B/C#         F#5    E
As we listened to  the sound of the engine failing


E  A E A A E A x2


Chorus:
  E                   A      E
I feel like I've been living in
               A           E
A city with no children in it
                  A    E
A garden left for ruin by
  B     B/A     B/C#      F#5     E
A millionaire inside of a private prison


E  A E A A E A x2

    E             A           E
You never trust a millionaire 
            B             B/A      B/C#  F#5
Quoting the sermon on the mount
  E                   A        E
I used to think I was not like them
        B            B/A     B/C#       F#5          E
But I'm beginning to have my doubts, my doubts about it


E  A E A A E A

            E        A         E
When you're hiding underground
    B          B/A     B/C#  F#5
The rain can't get you wet
    E                 A        E
But do you think your righteousness 
              B        B/A     B/C#            F#5     E
Could pay the interest on your debt, I have my doubts about it

E  A E A A E A 


Chorus

  E                   A      E
I feel like I've been living in
               A           E
A city with no children in it
                  A    E
A garden left for ruin by
    B    B/A      B/C#        F#5     E
And by as I hide inside of my private prison
