[Verse 1]
C           G         C 
Lost in the valley of malls

    C            G             C
The kids are all eating themselves

C         G            Am  Amadd9
Living on capsules and balls

                      C       G       C 
Thinking that there’s nowhere else at all
[Verse 2]
C           G         C 
Flicking a match in the sky

C          G          C
Turning my back on my own

C           G             Am          Amadd9     C
Finally the bottle’s bone dry, with a message inside

     G             C 
That says that I’m gone

C           G         Am
 The city’s shrinking down

C             G                 Am
 I think it’s time to leave this town

C         G                       Am              
  Pulling out while there’s still time

C               G          Am
Littered all my memories behind

C               G           C
The statues win so let them have it

C        G                  C 
Let them keep their squeaky clean

C        G             Am  Amadd9
Whatever was now is in ashes

            C       G            C
There isn’t anymore room here for me
