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

Once I had a love and it was a gas

 Soon turned out had a heart of glass

 Seemed like the real thing, only to find

 Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside, Adorable illusion and I cannot hide

 I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside

 We could've made it cruising, yeah

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

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
