You can't see the sun rise

When the buildings have grown too tall to see the skies

A E
By your eyes

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