Intro: Eb
Eb Cm
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
Ab Eb
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
Cm
These days my life, I feel it has no purpose
Ab Eb
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface
Cm
'Cause on the surface the city lights shine
Ab Eb
They're calling at me, come and find your kind
Cm
Sometimes I wonder if the World's so small
Ab Eb
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Chorus:
Ab Eb
Living in the sprawl
Ab Eb Ab Eb Eb
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
Cm
And there's no end in sight
Ab Eb
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
Eb Cm
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
Ab Eb
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
Cm
We shield our eyes from the police lights
Ab Eb
We run away, but we don't know why
Cm
On the black river, the city lights shine
Ab Eb
They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind
Cm
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
Ab Eb
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Chorus:
Ab Eb
Living in the sprawl
Ab Eb Ab Eb Eb
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
Cm
And there's no end in sight
Ab Eb
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
