[Intro] D
[Verse] D Bm They heard me singing and they told me to stop G D Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock Bm These days my life, I feel it has no purpose G D But late at night the feelings swim to the surface Bm 'Cause on the surface the city lights shine G D They're calling at me, come and find your kind Bm Sometimes I wonder if the World's so small G D That we can never get away from the sprawl
[Chorus] G D Living in the sprawl G D G D D Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains Bm And there's no end in sight G D I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
[Verse] D Bm We rode our bikes to the nearest park G D Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark Bm We shield our eyes from the police lights G D We run away, but we don't know why Bm On the black river, the city lights shine G D They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind Bm Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small G D That we can never get away from the sprawl
[Chorus] G D Living in the sprawl G D G D D Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains Bm And there's no end in sight G D I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
[Interlude] F Dm F A
[Verse] D Bm They heard me singing and they told me to stop G D Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock Bm Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small G D Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
[Chorus] G D Living in the sprawl G D G D D Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains Bm And there's no end in sight G D I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights D Bm G D I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
