Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

They heard me singing and they told me to stop

 Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock

 These days my life, I feel it has no purpose

 But late at night the feelings swim to the surface

 'Cause on the surface the city lights shine

 They're calling at me, come and find your kind

 Sometimes I wonder if the World's so small

 That we can never get away from the sprawl

Chorus

Living in the sprawl

Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains

 And there's no end in sight

 I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights

We rode our bikes to the nearest park

 Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark

 We shield our eyes from the police lights

 We run away, but we don't know why

 On the black river, the city lights shine

 They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind

 Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small

 That we can never get away from the sprawl

Chorus

They heard me singing and they told me to stop

 Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock

 Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small

 Can we ever get away from the sprawl?

Chorus

 I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
