[Intro] G Eb Bb F Gm Eb Bb F [Verse 1]
Gm                Eb
  Prison bars inside our homes

     Bb             F
gone way too far this time

 Gm                   Eb
it's skin on skin for skin tonight

    Bb           F
and I stand in plain sight - I watch it drown

Gm                 Eb
Where the fires burn right beside,

        Bb              F                            Gm   Eb
they'll burn it to the ground - and we'll never know

        Bb       F     C   F
we'll never know - oh
[Verse 2]
Gm                  Eb
  Paper plates and dinner trays

         Bb               F
stacked away, stomach groans

   Gm                 Eb
to see you see the sight of me

        Bb             F
would surely break my bones - I wash it down

Gm                   Eb
   And the fires burned bright outside

     Bb                F                            Gm Eb
my house it's not a home  - and we'll never know

            Bb       F   F
we'll never know - oh
[Chorus]
              Gm    Eb                  Bb      F
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam

             Gm      Eb                  Bb     F
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes

                Gm    Eb              Bb          F
and under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast

                  Gm                       Eb                 Bb          F
if you never burn bright, if you never take flight you're always looking back
[Interluse] Gm Eb Bb F Gm Eb Bb F [Verse 3]
         Gm           Eb
Oh - swept away from holidays

        Bb              F
had to learn to play pretend

 Gm               Eb
a list to list a list of things

    Bb                 F
I wish that I could send - I toss it out

Gm                  Eb
  The "once upon a time" for you

         Bb                 F                             Gm   Eb
never reached this blighted home - and you'll never know

        Bb           F                F
and you'll never know - oh  - oh you'll never know
[Chorus]
               Gm    Eb                  Bb      F
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam

               Gm   Eb                     B     F
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes

               Gm  Eb                  Bb          F
and under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast

                  Gm                    Eb                    B          F
if you never burn bright, if you never take flight you're always looking back
[Bridge]
 Ab                               Eb             Bb
Momma said goodnight, tried her best to keep you warm

              Ab
the cold outside it broke her down,

            Eb               Bb
the fire gone, papa left so long ago

          Ab
and it's been so long, and it's been so long

     Eb               Bb
wonder who you have to blame

                    Ab                            Eb         Bb
sitting under this spotlight you find yourself ready for the change
[Verse 4]
Gm                    Eb
Prison bars inside our home

      Bb                  F
went way too far that night

     Gm                   Eb
was skin on skin for skin my son,

    Bb                 F
and you stood in plain sight
[Chorus]
                 Gm    Eb                  Bb       F
Looking for the spotlights down on the streets I roam

               Gm    Eb                  Bb       F
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes

                Gm Eb                  Bb          F
and under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast

                  C                       Eb                        Bb
if you never burn bright, if you never take flight you're always looking back.

                 Ab
always looking back
[Outro]
Eb  Bb         Ab
uh ... under the spotlight

Eb  Bb         Ab
uh ... under the spotlight

Eb  Bb         Ab
uh ... under the spotlight

Eb  Bb         Ab
uh ... under the spotlight
