[Intro]
| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | G6 |
| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | G6 |

[Verse]
Am F/A Am7 F/A [ G6 ]
As he walks along the gorge's edge,
G6 G7 G Fadd9 F G | C C/B |
He meets a sense of yesteryear.
Am F/A Am7 F/A [ G6 ]
A window in the bank above his head
G6 G7 G Fadd9 F G | C |
Reveals his home amidst the streets.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Subway sounds, the sounds of complaint
F
The smell of acid on his gun of paint.
Em7
As it carves out anger in a blood-red band
F
Destroyed tomorrow by an unknown hand
| C | C-5 |
My home
B
Is this the way out from this endless scene?
Bm7
Or just an entrance to another dream?

[Chorus]
F#
And the light (light, light, light, light ...)
Gsus4
Dies down (down, down, down, down)
| C | % |
On Broadway

[Verse]
Am F/A Am7 F/A [ G6 ]
But as the skylight beckons him to leave,
G6 G7 G Fadd9 F G | C C/B |
He hears a scream from far below.
Am F/A Am7 F/A [ G6 ]
Within the raging water, writhes the form
G6 G7 G Fadd9 F G | C |
Of brother John, he cries for help.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
The gate is fading now, but open wide
F
But John is drowning, I must decide
Em7
Between the freedom I had in the rat-race
F
Or to stay forever in this forsaken place;
| C | C-5 |
Hey John!
B
He makes for the river and the gate is gone
Bm7
Back to the void where it came from.

[Chorus]
F#
And the light (light, light, light, light ...)
Gsus4
Dies down (down, down, down, down)
[ C ]
On Broadway
