G                          D          Em
I've sat and watched this city crumble,
C       D             G
Just as it was being built.
G                       D            Em
And the bigger it gets the less it's thought of,
C                  D                       G
I'm just scared of losing all that we have left.

C                 D                        Em
And the colors of these roads are matching the rainy sky.
C                    D                     Em           D
I'm too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes.
C                  D             Em
And I hope someday this will all reverse,
            C           D     Em
And send us back to the times before.
               C               D
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of,
Em
Clear blue skies and climbing trees.
C                      D                   Em
Can't you see what our lies have come to be?
C                      D                   G
Can't you see what our lies have come to be?

G                    D           Em
We used to just make friends so easily,
C             D          Em
Never judging anyone was how it's meant to be.
C                       D             Em
Our parents were always heroes in our eyes,
D          C              Em               G
But TV and magazines soon changed our minds.

C                 D                        Em
And the colors of these roads are matching the rainy sky.
C                    D                     Em           D

I watched people I loved turn into rust,
D              D               Em
Wearing almost nothing they go out after dusk.
C           D                    G            Em
As if to be accepted you need to sell yourself,
C                          D                 Em
They need to learn there's much more to this world.
