Standard (EADGBE)

I find it hard to change

Beyond routine

With its iron back

And its cheap caffeine

But we go too far

Down this road we’ve turned

We will cry for the city

We will beg for its crime

We will see what we’re missing

We will beg and we will cry

I’ve struggled hard to be

What my Daddy wants

What my Sister feels

What my Girlfriend needs

But we go too far

Down this road we’ve turned

We will cry for the city

We will reap what we sow

We will find we’ve sowed so little

But we will reap and we will sow

I’m haunted by a dream

A future scene

With an absent heart

And an open seam

I’ve got no heart left to break

It’s my saving grace

My road to ruin

My oldest friend

But we go too far

Down this road we’ve turned

We will cry for the city

We will read of its past

We will fail to listen

We will read and we’ll ignore

We will cry for the city

We will search for its hope

And from the concrete

Revolution springs its head

Towards the sun
