EStuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
                  (Riff)      E
Is the thought of getting out
EThere's a tower block overhead
All you've got's your benefits
                   (Riff)     E
And you're barely scraping by
In this Atrouble town
        (Riff)E
Troubles i've found
In this Atrouble town
            (Riff)E
Words do get 'round
EKick the bottom make troubles flee
Smoke until our eyes would bleed
               (Riff)       E
The spark will pop the seed
EHear the sirens down the street
The kids get light on their feet
                 (Riff)    E
Or they'll be in the back seat
In this Atrouble town
          (Riff)E
Troubles i've found
BSitting on the pavement
ABoy you've missed your payment
                     (Riff)  E
And they're gonna find you soon
BIf there's a beating in the rain
AIf there's a little bit of pain, man
                    (Riff)E
You're the one it happens to
EIf I talk of getting out
I only hear the laughter loud
         (Riff)   E
It's got an ugly echo
ESomewhere there's a secret road
To take me far away I know
          (Riff)    E   
But 'til then I am hollow
AIn this trouble town
           (Riff)E
Troubles i've found
AIn this trouble town
        (Riff) E
Fools i've found
BSitting on the pavement
ABoy you've missed your payment
                         (Riff) E
And they're gonna find you soon
BIf there's a beating in the streets
AIf there's a feeling of defeat
                     (Riff)E
You're the one it happens to
EStuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
        (Riff)             E
Is the thought of getting out

Stuck in speed bump city

Where the only thing that's pretty

(Riff) E

Is the thought of getting out

There's a tower block overhead

All you've got's your benefits

(Riff) E

And you're barely scraping by

In this trouble town

(Riff)E

Troubles i've found

In this trouble town

(Riff)E

Words do get 'round

Kick the bottom make troubles flee

Smoke until our eyes would bleed

(Riff) E

The spark will pop the seed

Hear the sirens down the street

The kids get light on their feet

(Riff) E

Or they'll be in the back seat

In this trouble town

(Riff)E

Troubles i've found

Sitting on the pavement

Boy you've missed your payment

(Riff) E

And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the rain

If there's a little bit of pain, man

(Riff)E

You're the one it happens to

If I talk of getting out

I only hear the laughter loud

(Riff) E

It's got an ugly echo

Somewhere there's a secret road

To take me far away I know

(Riff) E

But 'til then I am hollow

In this trouble town

(Riff)E

Troubles i've found

In this trouble town

(Riff) E

Fools i've found

Sitting on the pavement

Boy you've missed your payment

(Riff) E

And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the streets

If there's a feeling of defeat

(Riff)E

You're the one it happens to

Stuck in speed bump city

Where the only thing that's pretty

(Riff) E

Is the thought of getting out
