Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: D No painted trains on the underground Em Bm A No kids with spray cans jumping over fences D All the suits and the ties all march in a straight line Em Bm Deafening the sound of the helpless Pre-Chorus: G It’s a city of a thousand heartbeats
No room for another soul Same building on a different street Em But nobody knows Chorus: D Tear it down 'til it's gone G Em All you ever, all you ever wanted D Kill the lights, while they're on G Em Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted? Verse 2: D Stand in a line for a hole in the wall Em Bm A ‘Cause people still need cash to buy their freedom D Moving forward walking back Em Bm Everyone is falling but we don’t see them Pre-Chorus: G A day away from a stroke of bad luck Money’s slipping right through the cracks It’s a shame how we don’t know Em What we really have Chorus: D Tear it down 'til it's gone G Em All you ever, all you ever wanted D Kill the lights, while they're on G Em Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted? Bridge: | D | D | G | Em | | D | D | G Em Is it all you ever wanted? Pre-Chorus: G Mine’s the city with a thousand heartbeats We’re just trying to keep a dream alive New sign on an old street Em I don’t recognise Chorus: D Tear it down 'til it's gone G Em All you ever, all you ever wanted D Kill the lights, while they're on G Em Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?
