Said you got tired of the same old rock n roll

Let’s anew at sunset, life with a lot more soul

Well I know you spend a lot of time alone in your head
C F
Remember what you said
C G
I never thought you’d be so easily lead
(Pre-Chorus)

One million lights, they’re burning our eyes til the morning
E G
Run for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway
(Chorus)
