You said we'd leave next year
D#m A# B
--- ---
Each year for thirteen years
D#m A# B
--- ---
Each year, it gets harder to hear
D#m A# B D#m A# B
It's getting harder now just to stay in love
---
D#m A# B
--- ---
And now our roots grow deep
D#m A# B
--- ---
Beneath these barren streets
D#m A# B
--- ---
I have the darkest dreams
D#m A# B
The city's pipes and wires
D#m A# B
Went through our nerves and veins
C# D#m B A# A# B A#
And those nights, after a double shift, I feel it
C# D#m B
The test plans you never dared to live
A# A# B A#
They used to light up your eyes
A# A# B A# D#m A# B
Those bulbs have long burned out

Let a tornado tear through
NC D#m A# B
Let it tear straight through our roof
C#m G# A

And let the rain pour in
C#m G# A

I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"
C#m G# A

We'll leave the house in ruins
C#m G# A C#m G# A
If we escape right now, we just might make it out
[Chorus]

This city, this city's killing us
