[Intro]

[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
