You can't see the sun rise
E B F#
When the buildings have grown too tall to see the skies
E B F#
And the smog is too thick to be pierced by your eyes
E B F#
By your eyes
E B
By your eyes
F#
You can't feel the rain fall down

When you're locked in a box, nailed to the ground
E B F#
And the muffled cries for help are the only sound
E B F#
The only sound (sound, sound)
E B F#
The only sound, sound, sound
E B F#
The only sound, sound, sound
E B F#
The only sound (sound, sound)
