C 
I find it hard to change 
Am 
Beyond routine 
C 
With its iron back 
Am 
And its cheap caffeine 

G 
But we go too far 
G 
Down this road we?ve turned 

        Am7     C 
We will cry for the city 
        Am7         C 
We will beg for its crime 
        Am7         C 
We will see what we?re missing 
        Am              C 
We will beg and we will cry 


C 
I?ve struggled hard to be 
Am 
What my Daddy wants 
C 
What my Sister feels 
Am 
What my Girlfriend needs 

G 
But we go too far 
G 
Down this road we?ve turned 

        Am7     C 
We will cry for the city 
        Am7          C 
We will reap what we sow 
        Am7                 C 
We will find we?ve sowed so little 
            Am               C 
But we will reap and we will sow 


C 
I?m haunted by a dream 
Am 
A future scene 
C 
With an absent heart 
Am 
And an open seam 

C 
I?ve got no heart left to break 
Am 
It?s my saving grace 
C 
My road to ruin 
Am 
My oldest friend 

G 
But we go too far 
G 
Down this road we?ve turned 

        Am7     C 
We will cry for the city 
        Am7         C 
We will read of its past 
        F       C 
We will fail to listen 
        Am             C 
We will read and we?ll ignore 
        F       C 
We will cry for the city 
        F              C 
We will search for its hope 
        F 
And from the concrete 
    C                  F 
Revolution springs its head 
G           C 
Towards the sun
