Emaj - Emaj7 - C#m - A - F#m - B - E (Esus)
VERSE 1
Emaj Emaj7
You, you don't belong
C#m A
In this prison-like hospital
F#m B
But I feel so responsible
E A
And I know you feel ashamed
F#m B E
Just show me what you started with, that blade
Emaj Emaj7
Brought you some clean clothes
C#m A
A calling card for the payphone
F#m B
Magazines, headphones, CDs,
E A
To grant you a distraction
F#m B E
Cause I know there's no one here to take you home
PRECHORUS
E/G#
You'll be alright
Am(maj7) Amaj7
My sound advice
A?
Just hope you know
A barred
We are done
B barred RIFF
It's time to move on
CHORUS
E
Losing your voice in the crowded streets
C#m
Pulsing crunch of machinery
A barred
Oh so harsh frequency
B barred
In the city that we love
E C#m A barred B barred
We love, we love, we love, love
VERSE 2
Emaj Emaj7
Paint chipped and scraped
C#m A
Evidence of forced entry
F#m B
Red with disgust, violated
E A
Remind me why I love
F#m B E
Living in this city I call home
PRECHORUS
E/G# Am(maj7)
Passenger's side, left open wide
Amaj7 A?
Glass scattered about
A barred B barred RIFF
Broken along with my optimism
CHORUS
E
Losing your voice in the crowded streets
C#m
Pulsing crunch of machinery
A barred
Oh so harsh frequency
B barred
In the city that we love
E C#m A barred B barred
We love, we love, we love, love
ENDING
Emaj
None of your schemes work on me
Emaj7
Smoke signals are jokes to see
C#m
The smell sticks to your clothes
A
It's on everything I own
F#m B ENDING RIFF
Like the rain that seeps through the cracks in my rubber soul
