[Verse]
FMy ciGty sleeps by the side of a freeFway, tGhe city scraps
And winFter tGime she wore a yellow coFat
NGow there's nothin' on her back
If a builFding faGlls you wouldn't care to noFtice unGless you were in it
Then nFo one cGares about climbin' staFirs, noGthin' at the top no more
[Chorus]
OuGtside trippin' in the brFoken cGity
OuGtside trippin' in the brFoken cGity, I watch a building Ebcrack
OuGtside trippin' in the brFoken cGity
OuGtside kickin' in the broFken ciGty, there's nothin' wEbrong with that
DCoo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo...
[Verse]
Now the snFow faGlls down like it's fallin' on an ocFean
DeGad and empty by the railFroad trGacks where they used to go and coFme
Now they doGn't come back
You can heFal the rGust, goin' up the througFhways
DGown the alleys where they stFole this tGown from the froFntier
I can seGe 'em tryin' to steal it back
[Chorus]
OuGtside trippin' in the brFoken cGity (Outside trippin' in the broFken ciGty)
OuGtside trippin' in the brFoken cGity, I watch a building Ebcrack
OuGtside kickin' in the broFken ciGty (Outside trippin' in the brokFen citGy)
OuGtside trippin' in the brFoken cGity, there's nothin' Ebwrong with that
CDoo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

When itF's cold ouGtside I see it hide behind the smokeFstacks
No thin rGoses, no goldrFush, no miGner, no revolution they'd hire
And the shiFpyard is a gravGeyard, no one will be trying to find him

[Verse]

F G F G

My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps

F G F

And winter time she wore a yellow coat

Now there's nothin' on her back

F G F G

If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it

F G F G

Then no one cares about climbin' stairs, nothin' at the top no more

[Chorus]

G F G

Outside trippin' in the broken city

G F G Eb

Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack

G F G

Outside trippin' in the broken city

G F G Eb

Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo...

[Verse]

F G F

Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean

G F G F

Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come

Now they don't come back

F G F

You can heal the rust, goin' up the throughways

G F G F

Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier

I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back

[Chorus]

G F G F G

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

G F G Eb

Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack

G F G F G

Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

G F G Eb

Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

[Instrumental]

(X3)

[Verse]

F G F

Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map

Anymore

F G F

When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks

G F G

No thin roses, no goldrush, no miner, no revolution they'd hire

F G

And the shipyard is a graveyard, no one will be trying to find him

[Outro]

G F G F G

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

G F G Eb

Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack

G F G F G

Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

G F G Eb

Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

F G F G

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo (There's nothin' wrong with that)

F G F G

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do (Outside trippin' in the broken city)
