[Verse]
     C                   F
This city has plagiarized your thoughts
     C              Dm                  F           C
This city has ruined all that there was left in me
Dm                      F                      C
Cigarette stained teeth chatter in the winter's air
    Dm            F
And broken people quench the cycle
         C
Of these broken habits these broken habits
        Dm
And I'm looking through the window
     F                 C
To a life I could have led
        Dm                 F
Where I would be sober and normal
         C
If I just walked through the door

Through that door


[Chorus]
    G
But darlin' I can't lie to you
         F                     C
That the sun feels so good out here
     G
Yeah darlin' I can't lie to you
         F                     C
That the sun feels so good out here


[Verse]
        C                     F
I'm not growing up I'm slowly dying
       C
Pokin' holes in the pixels
   Dm      F           C
Of this decaying portrait
     Dm                F               C
This life we lead is a bittersweet distraction
       Dm          F
As the grown child screams
                    C
For more and more attention
        Dm                  F
And the muffled ears of the spectators
          C
Render indifferent
Dm                   F
Wrinkled brow shy to anything
                 C
But solitude and silence


[Chorus]
        G
But I'm begging you darlin'
      F                           C
Don't lull your thoughts into compliance
         G
Yeah I'm begging you darlin'
      F                           C      C E7
Don't lull your thoughts into compliance

[Bridge]
     G
Even after the match is burnt out
    F                            C
The fire that it lit still rages on
     G
Even after the match is burnt out
    F                            C
The fire that it lit still rages on
     G
Even after the match is burnt out
    F                            C
The fire that it lit still rages on
     G
Even after the match is burnt out
    F                            C
The fire that it lit still rages on
    E7     Am     G      F
And on and on and on and on
   F                            C
So darlin' bottles up and carry on
