Intro: Eb Eb Cm They heard me singing and they told me to stop Ab Eb Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock Cm These days my life, I feel it has no purpose Ab Eb But late at night the feelings swim to the surface Cm 'Cause on the surface the city lights shine Ab Eb They're calling at me, come and find your kind Cm Sometimes I wonder if the World's so small Ab Eb That we can never get away from the sprawl Chorus: Ab Eb Living in the sprawl Ab Eb Ab Eb Eb Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains Cm And there's no end in sight Ab Eb I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights Eb Cm We rode our bikes to the nearest park Ab Eb Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark Cm We shield our eyes from the police lights Ab Eb We run away, but we don't know why Cm On the black river, the city lights shine Ab Eb They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind Cm Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small Ab Eb That we can never get away from the sprawl Chorus: Ab Eb Living in the sprawl Ab Eb Ab Eb Eb Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains Cm And there's no end in sight Ab Eb I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights Interlude: Gb Ebm Gb Bb Eb Cm They heard me singing and they told me to stop Ab Eb Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock Cm Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small Ab Eb Can we ever get away from the sprawl? Chorus: Ab Eb Living in the sprawl Ab Eb Ab Eb Eb Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains Cm And there's no end in sight Ab Eb I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights Interlude: Eb Cm Ab Eb I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
