Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Here in the city the measure is frozen

Billboards are screaming nothing is real

In every small town there's air you can breathe in

 It's not about the money or fast food on wheels

 The lights are too bright for my eyes

 Inside there's a feeling that rings like a bell

 I've had enough and I long for the silence

 This place hasn't treated me well

I have decided to leave this city

 These buildings and people bring me down

I have decided to leave this city

 I think that I'm gonna move to town

Here in the city no one's connected

Careers are controlling everyone’s lives

 In every small town there's barely possession

Mothers aren't burdens or grandfathers' wives

 The lights are too bright for my eyes

 Inside there's a feeling that rings like a bell

 I've had enough and I long for the silence

 This place hasn't treated me well

I have decided to leave this city

 These buildings and people bring me down

I have decided to leave this city

 I think that I'm gonna move to town

 I won't make a sound

 I won’t follow this merry-go-around

 That keeps going round with or without

Me I'm leaving I'm leaving I'm leaving

 Tomorrow I'll make my way out of the city

 Tomorrow I'll hop on a train or a bus

 I'll never stop running away from cities

 Where girls don't leave husbands for boys like us

I have decided to leave this city

 These buildings and people bring me down

I have decided to leave this city

 I think that I'm gonna move to town

 I think that I'm gonna move to town

[a capella]

I have decided to leave this city

These buildings and people bring me down

I have decided to leave this city

I think that I'm gonna move to toooown
