Verse 1:
D MajorD
At the bus stop we're
F# minorF#m
the pawns and we just
F# minorF#m
do what we're told
D MajorD
But on your rooftop w'ere
F# minorF#m
the kings and we look
D MajorD
down on this whole town
D MajorD
You know it looks a
F# minorF#m
lot like last year
F# minorF#m
Spend our time in
D MajorD
just one place.
D MajorD
If I wrote the story
F# minorF#m
of my life here a couple
F# minorF#m
things that I'd erase.
Chorus 1:
A augmentedA
Don't you ever want to go?
A augmentedA B minorBm C# minorC#m
Wait for some kind of sign
F# minorF#m
that shows us where to
D MajorD
go tonight Underneath
D MajorD
the northern lights
A augmentedA
Up here like I can
A augmentedA
finally see I look past
B minorBm C# minorC#m
the buildings all these
F# minorF#m
trees that line a dead end
D MajorD
street Get all the way
D MajorD
to New Orleans tonight.
Verse 2:
D MajorD
And when the fog sets
F# minorF#m
it's a softer side
F# minorF#m
of urban decay
D MajorD
We go no nets
F# minorF#m
I watch a can roll down
F# minorF#m
I hear it hit the driveway
D MajorD
Anchorless like a novel
F# minorF#m
written by Steinbeck
F# minorF#m
We're in a Midwest dust bowl
D MajorD
When you count the days until
F# minorF#m
your next paycheck it's
F# minorF#m
a world of mice and men.

Outro:
D MajorD
On the edge the world seems
F# minorF#m
to stop I can feel the wind
D MajorD
and my stomach drop If we're
F# minorF#m
stuck and if we never leave
F# minorF#m
we've still got moments here
D MajorD
like these Lying on our
F# minorF#m
backs counting stars
F# minorF#m
in the summer night
D MajorD
Above the sidewalk cracks
F# minorF#m
getting bathed in
D MajorD
the billboard light
F# minorF#m
getting bathed in
D MajorD
the billboard light
F# minorF#m
getting bathed in
D MajorD
the billboard light
F# minorF#m
getting bathed in
D MajorD
the billboard light
