Db  Ab  Bbm  Gb
[Verse 1]
DbSomewhere in Ann Arbor there's a Abbroken traffic light
Blinking Bbmsoftly for an audience of Gbone
A Dbboy who takes his comfort in the Abshelter of the night
And Bbmstays up until the morning just becaGbuse
DbSomewhere in Ann Arbor there's an Abempty parking lot
Where he Bbmlikes to go and look up at the Gbmoon
Ask Dbhimself where things went wrong and Abwhy he feels so caught
And Bbmhopes that things start changing someday Gbsoon

Where he'd Bbmlike to find some company to Gbshare
DbSpends the evening spilling his whole Ablife to someone new
Perfect Bbmsmile and ribbon in her Gbhair
DbSomewhere in Ann Arbor there's a Abvacant hotel room
where he Bbmleaves all of his lovers high and Gbdry
DbPretends he's got the thing they want and Abwhen he has them fooled
He Bbmcrumbles and escapes into the Gbnight

[Intro]

Db Ab Bbm Gb

[Verse 1]

Db Ab

Somewhere in Ann Arbor there's a broken traffic light

Bbm Gb

Blinking softly for an audience of one

Db Ab

A boy who takes his comfort in the shelter of the night

Bbm Gb

And stays up until the morning just because

Db Ab

Somewhere in Ann Arbor there's an empty parking lot

Bbm Gb

Where he likes to go and look up at the moon

Db Ab

Ask himself where things went wrong and why he feels so caught

Bbm Gb

And hopes that things start changing someday soon

[Chorus]

Gb Db

Oh, hes got it all

Ab Bbm

He's got the life that they all said that he would want

Gb Db

And oh, hes got it good

Ab Bbm

So why the hell can't he start feeling like he should

[Verse 2]

Db Ab

Somewhere in Ann Arbor there's a table set for two

Bbm Gb

Where he'd like to find some company to share

Db Ab

Spends the evening spilling his whole life to someone new

Bbm Gb

Perfect smile and ribbon in her hair

Db Ab

Somewhere in Ann Arbor there's a vacant hotel room

Bbm Gb

where he leaves all of his lovers high and dry

Db Ab

Pretends he's got the thing they want and when he has them fooled

Bbm Gb

He crumbles and escapes into the night

[Chorus]

Gb Db

Oh, hes got it all

Ab Bbm

He's got the life that they all said that he would want

Gb Db

And oh, hes got it good

Ab Bbm

So why the hell can't he start feeling like he should
