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

Let a tornado tear through
NC Dm A A#
Let it tear straight through our roof
Cm G G#

And let the rain pour in
Cm G G#
--- ---
I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"
Cm G G#

We'll leave the house in ruins
Cm G G# Cm G G#
If we escape right now, we just might make it out
[Chorus]
Dm A A# A A A# A
This city, this city's killing us

This city, this city's killing us
