[Intro]
Am Em G D
[Verse 1]
Am Em G D
Leaving the city, expectations high, the radio’s on and the mood’s just right
Am Em G D
Don’t know what’s hiding in the depths of my mind, it seems so scary, lets not kick this
hive
Am Em G D
Past is wrong they said, maybe you’re right I said, but except for that what do I have
Am Em G D
Uncertain future, too many windows to fill, swear to god, I don’t even know how I feel
Am Em G
And the presence. Don’t try to mock me my dear, all those sleepless nights, I tried to
D
understand what’s real
Am Em G
And what’s a lie, flashing lights blinding me, I tried to hide, but they won’t let me
D
be… me
[Chorus]
Am Em
Leaving the city now feels so strange
G D
I‘ve been looking for you everywhere
Am Em
Hauted by the ones who dont understand
G D
Trying to have my mind tamed and bent
Am Em
You were my only friend, now this has to end
G D
But they cant apprehend me
Am Em
So Im heading south, into the city of lights
G D
Into the only place I can be me
[Verse 2]
Am Em
Looking out of the window I see, Everything I want to leave behind me,
G D
The ignorance, the lies! Not caring about lives
Am Em
Selflessness, manipulative manners, Man and his hound, no equality matters,
G D
Things lost by blood, is still all they've got
Am Em
Going past the untruthful signs, they hoard while you pay fines.
G D
Money is what you need but it goes for the ones who lead
[Verse 3]
Am Em
Past is wrong they said, maybe you’re right I said
G D
But except for that what do I have,
Am Em
Feeling lonely, depression rigth by my side
G D
I don't feel worthy, I might just cut the lines
Am Em
And the city, oh the city was too dark,
G D
And you, you were nowhere to be found
Am Em
I left a message you haven‘t noticed at all,
G D
Was it on purpose I guess I‘ll never know
[Chorus]
Am Em
Leaving the city now feels so strange
G D
I‘ve been looking for you everywhere
Am Em
Hauted by the ones who dont understand
G D
Trying to have my mind tamed and bent
Am Em
You were my only friend, now this has to end
G D
But they cant apprehend me
Am Em
So I'm heading south, into the city of lights
G D
Into the only place I can be me
