Verse:

C# minorC#m        BB       A augmentedA
  Snow and sleet, on Saturday
   E MajorE     BB      C# minorC#m
I had 8 hours of hell to pay
        BB              A augmentedA
Week after week, third floor bachelor suite
          E MajorE         BB    A augmentedA
The atmosphere just stinks of rotting apathy

Chorus:

      E MajorE  BB  A augmentedA
Romance of ordinary type
     E MajorE     BB       A augmentedA
I need a better way another day a different time
      E MajorE      BB   A augmentedA
This liquor sheen smiles in my eyes
       C# minorC#m      BB       A augmentedA
I'm searching for an anchor in this empty night


Verse:

C# minorC#m       BB      A augmentedA
  Walking home, on the same street
  E MajorE       BB        C# minorC#m
it never used to look like this
       BB         A augmentedA
The skeletons, they're secretly
     E MajorE       BB   A augmentedA
living in all these condominiums

Chorus:

     E MajorE     BB     A augmentedA
And all across the northeast side
    E MajorE        BB            A augmentedA
The evolution of these streets is sucking them of their life
        E MajorE      BB   A augmentedA
Their meat and spirits swallowed alive
        C# minorC#m   BB      A augmentedA
There's nothing new the city is for sale

Bridge:

  C# minorC#m       BB
The day was long, it almost killed me
   A augmentedA           F#F#
And I don't belong, but the drinks are flowing
C# minorC#m            BB
Snow and Ice, give way to summer's new life
   A augmentedA       F#F#
north avenue, above lakeshore drive


Outro:

  C# minorC#m    Amaj7Amaj7    E MajorE     BB
The sun drops down, behind west side buildings
  C# minorC#m Amaj7Amaj7     E MajorE   BB
The city lights, run so soft against the sky
  C# minorC#m    Amaj7Amaj7        BB   A augmentedA
And from this bridge, i watch cars fast below me
  C# minorC#m  Amaj7Amaj7
And all my fears, and troubles
E MajorE      BB
Won't leave here with me
A augmentedA
Tonight
