C                  Bb
  Streets I ran in this whole town

D                        G5        A5    G5
  Backstreets and all, I wanted to leave there,

C                   Bb
  But no matter how fast I ran

D                       G5            A5   G5
  My feet were glued, I just couldn't move there
[Pre-Chorus 1]
B7          B13      B7      B13
  I saw the hate and lots of people, I

B7         B13          B7       B13
  Heard my name called above the noise, and

C7           C13           C7         C13
  I tried to speak, but my tongue was tied

D7            D13           D7         D13           E7
  Bumped into emptiness and started to cry, I said, "Oh no!"
[Chorus]
C                          Fmaj7
  I saw the lights and the pretty girls, and I

C                            Fmaj7
  Thought to myself, "What a pretty world," but there's

C                          Fmaj7
  Something else here that puts me off,

    G5     A5      G5       G5            A5     G5
And I'm so scared, dear, my love comes in frozen packs

F                    C     C/Bb
Bought in a ... supermarket

[Verse 2]
C                        Bb
  Streets I ran, through wind and rain,

D                    G5               A5 G5
  Around this place amongst streaming sunshine

C               Bb
  Scared I was, sweating now

D                            G5          A5 G5
  Feeling of doom, my bowels turned into water
[Pre-Chorus 2]
B7         B13            B7    B13
  Felt hot breath whisper in my ear, I

B7           B13                    B7           B13
  Looked for somewhere to hide, but everywhere's closed, and

C7          C13           C7        C13
  I shut my eyes, pretend not to be here, but

D7               D13              D7       D13             E7
  This feeling's much too real to ever disappear, I said, "Oh no!"
[Chorus]
C                          Fmaj7
  I saw the lights and the pretty girls, and I

C                            Fmaj7
  Thought to myself, "What a pretty world," but there's

C                          Fmaj7
  Something else here that puts me off,

    G5     A5      G5          G5            A5     G5
And I'm so scared, dear, their hate comes in frozen packs
