Verse 1:
C           G   F   Ab 
In the city 
C              G   F   Ab 
The day is too hot 
           C          G 
And you're hoping for relief 
          F                   Ab 
'Cuz your head is filled with pain 
        C      Bb               Ab           G 
But you get no relief, 'cuz the night is the same

You live your life in darkness 
           C               G    F  Ab 
You've got pennies on your eyes 
        C                 G 
And you say that it's all right

Bridge:
    C            Ab             C                Ab 
You can't see no light, but you hear those heavy footsteps 
        C          Ab    F            G 
And the little man inside twists your tormented 
Ab 
Mind 
 
( Bb  C  G  F  Ab ) 
( C  G  F  Ab ) 
 
Verse 3:
     C                   G 
Your mind is filled with shadows 
     F                  Ab 
Your palms are wet with sweat 
C                   G       F          Ab 
Limbs are bound and tangled in a fatal net 
          C                  G   F               Ab 
There are two things you can do, One is turn and fight 
    C           Bb       Ab       G 
The other's run headlong into the night 
 
 
C            Ab  F  C  Ab 
In the night 
C                Ab  F               G

C            Ab  F  C  Ab 
In the night 
C                Ab   F             G 
In the night you feel, barely alive 
 
    C            Ab             C                Ab 
You can't see no light, but you hear those heavy footsteps 
        C                 Ab          F          G 
And the breathing at your side, is it yours, or is it 
     Ab  Bb  C 
Good bye!

        C  Ab  F 
        C  Ab  F 
        C  Ab  F  C
