G+G C/GC/G Am/GAm/G C/GC/G Am/D (x2)

G+G                C majorC
When I see the light why is it terrifying,
   A minorAm        Am/GAm/G     C majorC   Am/D
it's terrifying, it's coming up, I'm going down

G+G                 C majorC
Down into the streets that got me here
        A minorAm         Am/GAm/G      C majorC  Am/D
It's blinding, blinding light, it's not supposed to rain today


C/GC/G   C/BC/B       Am/GAm/G
I see it now, it was just moving too fast
C/GC/G   C/BC/B      Am/GAm/G
I see it now like a reflection in my past
C/GC/G   C/BC/B       Am/GAm/G
Rivers of poison that surround us
       Am/D(2)
on an island full of death and rats, subways and taxicabs


  G+G    C majorC       A minorAm
And you, and those blinding lights
   G+G    C majorC       A minorAm    C majorC Am/D
Yeah you and those blinding lights


G+G               C majorC
I just want to sleep why is it never over
   A minorAm       Am/GAm/G        C majorC    Am/D
The day before keeps running through my head I need the

G+G             C majorC
Downs in the street, it's awe inspiring,
   A minorAm         Am/GAm/G     C majorC    Am/D
The strangers passing, nobody stops to say goodbye

C/GC/G   C/BC/B       Am/GAm/G
I see it now, it was just moving too fast
C/GC/G   C/BC/B      Am/GAm/G
I see it now like a reflection in my past
C/GC/G    C/BC/B      Am/GAm/G
Rivers of poison that surround us
           Am/D(2)
on an island full of death and rats, subways and taxicabs,

All night bars, and mistakes you know I made before

Days and nights, endless, overripe, buses and traffic lights

and tourists with subway maps and


G+G    C majorC       A minorAm
You and those blinding lights
   G+G    C majorC       A minorAm    C majorC Am/D
Yeah you and those blinding lights
   G+G    C majorC       A minorAm
Yeah you and those blinding lights
   G+G    C majorC       A minorAm
Yeah you and those blinding lights
Am/GAm/G      C majorC  Am/D G+G
