Intro: A augmentedA E MajorE (x2)

  A augmentedA
   I hear something in the sounds that surround me
 B minorBm       E MajorE
   That only seems to remind me,
    B minorBm        E MajorE    D9D9      A augmentedA        E MajorE
   That I'm lost and longing for a different place and time
  A augmentedA
   I want to be walking down the avenue,
 B minorBm         E MajorE
   Tall buildings staring down on me and you
 B minorBm      E MajorE     D9D9      A augmentedA         D9D9
   But all I have is pictures running through my mind

   E MajorE    B minorBm
   Sunlight dying
   D MajorD          A augmentedA     D9D9
   People rushing madly all around
   E MajorE    B minorBm
   Sirens crying
   D MajorD             E MajorE    E9/D   C#m7C#m7
   Gotta grab the next thing back to our town,
 E9/D      E MajorE      E9/D     C#m7C#m7 E9/D
   Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground

A augmentedA E MajorE

  A augmentedA
   Do you remember the promise I gave you,
 B minorBm       E MajorE
   The one I swore I would hold to?
  B minorBm
   Well you're there,
     E MajorE    D9D9     A augmentedA        E MajorE
   I'm here, and everything I said was wrong
  A augmentedA
   So we're not out with the crowd nights,
  B minorBm      E MajorE
   Not walking under the bright lights
  B minorBm      E MajorE   D9D9      A augmentedA        D9D9
   All I can do is dream about it, all night long

   E MajorE    B minorBm
   Sunlight dying
   D MajorD          A augmentedA     D9D9
   People rushing madly all around
   E MajorE    B minorBm
   Sirens crying
   D MajorD             E MajorE    E9/D  C#m7C#m7
   Gotta grab the next thing back to our town,
 E9/D      E MajorE      E9/D     C#m7C#m7 E9/D
   Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground

  E MajorE     E9/D     C#m7C#m7   E9/D     E MajorE
   It's the place where we keep our hopes and dreams,
     E9/D     C#m7C#m7   E9/D    E MajorE
   The place where I lost my heart it seems
        E9/D     C#m7C#m7    E9/D
   All people looking for danger and romance
  E MajorE     E9/D      C#m7C#m7      E9/D
   Drop by there while you still have the chance,
       E MajorE      E9/D    C#m7C#m7 E9/D
   'cause it's all gonna tumble down.
       E MajorE    E9/D     C#m7C#m7 E9/D   A augmentedA   E MajorE
   It's gonna shake apart, and crumble to the ground

  A augmentedA
   Do you remember the promise I gave you,
  B minorBm      E MajorE
   The one I swore I would hold to?
  B minorBm
   Well you're there,
     E MajorE    D9D9     A augmentedA        E MajorE
   I'm here, and everything I said was wrong
  A augmentedA
   So we're not out with the crowd nights,
  B minorBm      E MajorE
   Not walking under the bright lights
  B minorBm      E MajorE   D9D9      A augmentedA        D9D9
   All I can do is dream about it, all night long

E MajorE    B minorBm
   Sunlight dying
   D MajorD          A augmentedA     D9D9

   Gotta grab the next thing back to our town,
 E9/D      E MajorE      E9/D     C#m7C#m7 E9/D  D MajorD
   Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground,  yeah


E MajorE    B minorBm
   Sunlight dying
