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