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
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
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
F C
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
Am
We shield our eyes from the police lights
F C
We run away, but we don't know why
Am
On the black river, the city lights shine
F C
They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind
Am
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
F C
That we can never get away from the sprawl
