Wake up to a world overcast in concrete skies
A E C#m A7M G#m
Where the smell of exhaust is a factor in people’s daily lives
A E C#m A E
You elevate to earn yourself the status
A E B A G#m
Then walk home alone at the end of the day in single file
F#m E C#m B F#m E G#m
Hard to come to terms with how they do it
F#m E C#m B F#m E G
When the streets are lined with houses you can’t live in

Meagre sleep to spend time in tall buildings

In front of scrolling numbers on computer screens
A E A E7M
All her friends stay logged into the system
A E C#m A G#m
In fear of what would go down if they tried to hide
F#m E C#m B F#m E G#m
Hard to come to terms with how they do it
F#m E C#m B E G
When the air is formed of things that you can’t breathe in

Scan the streets in search of something better

I’ve been here since I can remember her
( G E Em )
F#m E C#m B A
Hard to come to terms with all the consequence at stake to stay there
G#m F#m E C#m B A7M
She’d lie awake for hours dreaming up a better place, where maybe
A E C#m B A
Hard to come to terms with all the effort that it takes, to stay here
B Am E C#m B
She’d lie awake for hours thinking of another way

My Lady, you’re gone it's done

F#m E C#m G#m
My mind is racing but I can’t feel my head
B E A
This world an island, isolated conscience buried in the sand. Sleeping
F#m E C#m G#m7 G#m E A7M
The blurry memories they come as they go, so hard to focus when The City watches everything you do
A
And stops you from dreaming
A
I’m leaving
A
Soon
