[Verse 1]
Yeah I Gpicked it all up and I Cmoved to the Gcity
CIt's never Gdark and it Ddoesn't feel right
The Gbar's are always full and the Cpeople are so Gpretty
CHollow little Gvessels that surDvive on the Glights
[Verse 2]
GVaguely-rolling hills and a Csleepy little Gsunrise
CI even Gslept a little Dbit last night
Some Gpopulated people, they are Cwaiting for salGvation
CI've never Gbeen there but I Dheard that it's Gnice
[Chorus]
And we Cgo like death can't Gtouch us tonight
CCome back barely aDliveD4  
Now we're Gright back D/F#where we Em7started Coff
GAw Chell, you got me Dwonderin' Gwhy
[Interlude]
G     C  G
C  G  D  G
[Verse 3]
GI been movin' just to Ckeep the fire Gburning
CMy voice is Ggone but the Dband wants to play
GPeople go to work and the Cwheel, it keeps on Gturning
CA little Gquiet at the Dend of the Gday
[Chorus]
Here we Cgo, like the doomed little Gcreatures we are
CKeep our palms to the DskyD4  
Now we're Gright back D/F#where we Em7started Coff

[Chorus]
Here we Cgo to a dark and Gcomforting place
