Capo 3


Intro: C

C                                         Am
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
                                  F              C
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
                                     Am
These days my life, I feel it has no purpose
                               F           C
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface

                                      Am
'Cause on the surface the city lights shine
                                F         C
They're calling at me, come and find your kind
                                     Am
Sometimes I wonder if the World's so small
                       F            C
That we can never get away from the sprawl


Chorus:
F             C
Living in the sprawl
F             C               F                C          C/B
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
               Am
And there's no end in sight
                             F              C
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights


C                        Am
Once I had a love and it was a gas
                    F              C
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
                                     Am
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
                      F           C
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

F                                     C
Lost inside, Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
                                       F
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
                              G                              
We could've made it cruising, yeah


C                                         Am
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
                                  F              C
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
                                     Am
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
                 F            C
Can we ever get away from the sprawl?


Chorus:
F             C
Living in the sprawl
F             C               F                C          C/B
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
               Am
And there's no end in sight
                             F              C
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
