Verse:
D                   F
Come on down to the city at night
    Bb                 C
And see how the people cry
D
Wish away the time
       F
To the rhythm and rhyme
     Bb            C
Of a lifeless lullaby

    D                   F
And everybody wants for something
Bb                  C
Everybody wants for more
 D
Swimmin' to the lands
       F
Of the shimmerin' sands
       Bb                   C
And we drowned just off the shore

Pre-chorus:
Bm               Bb
All these voices sound the same
Bb               Bb     C
All that changes is the name

Chorus:
Dm          F               Bb              C
 And I just wanna hear some music with some soul
Dm       F                   Bb    C
 So many sheltered shades of grey
Dm        F                 Bb                C
 I'm not about to mourn the death of rock 'n' roll
Dm                F         Bb    C
 Cast your broken shackles away

    Dm            F
And sing like you mean it
Bb               C
Sing like you're feeling something
    Dm            F
And sing like you mean it
Bb               C
Sing like you're feeling something

Instrumental: (Same as intro)
Dm F F G
Dm F Bb C
Dm F F G Ab
Dm F Eb

Verse:
D
Passing the hours
       F
In the glittering towers
       Bb              C
As the valves begin to shred
D
Toppling down
   F
On top of this town
     Bb                  C
They scatter on a sea of red

    D                 F
And everybody needs a detour
   Bb                   C
To get off the same old road
D
Take a look around
          F
Turn your radio down
     Bb                    C
It's there in the lines of code

Pre-chorus:
Bm               Bb
All these voices blend to one
Bm             Bb      C
Add the minus, come to none

Chorus:
Dm          F               Bb              C
 And I just wanna hear some music with some soul
Dm       F                   Bb    C
 So many sheltered shades of grey
Dm        F                 Bb                C
 I'm not about to mourn the death of rock 'n' roll
Dm                F         Bb    C
 Cast your broken shackles away

    Dm            F
And sing like you mean it
Bb               C
Sing like you're feeling something
    Dm            F
And sing like you mean it
Bb               C
Sing like you're feeling something
