Sprawl Ii chords by Arcade Fire

Intro: C

C                     Am
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
                 F       C
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
                   Am
These days my life, I feel it has no purpose
                F      C
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface

                   Am
'Cause on the surface the city lights shine
                F     C
They're calling at me, come and find your kind
                   Am
Sometimes I wonder if the World's so small
            F      C
That we can never get away from the sprawl

Chorus:
F       C
Living in the sprawl
F       C        F        C     C/B
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
        Am
And there's no end in sight
               F       C
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights

C                Am
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
             F       C
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
                  Am
We shield our eyes from the police lights
          F     C
We run away, but we don't know why

                  Am
On the black river, the city lights shine
                 F     C
They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind
                   Am
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
            F      C
That we can never get away from the sprawl

Chorus

(Eb Cm Eb G)

C                     Am
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
                 F       C
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
                   Am
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
         F      C
Can we ever get away from the sprawl?

Chorus

(C Am)

               F       C
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
