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

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

And let the rain pour in
Bm F# G
--- ---
I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"
Bm F# G
--- ---
We'll leave the house in ruins
Bm F# G Bm F# G
If we escape right now, we just might make it out
[Chorus]
C#m G# A G# G# A G#
This city, this city's killing us
