Tabbed by nickelvs [Instrumental] |A|E|A|E| [Verse]
A                  E
That's life in the big city

    A                     E
You beg for mercy but you get no pity

A             E
Low-life zero mentality

 A                    E
Vandalized victims of depravity

  A                   E
A Fast food, take-out mentality

          A
Where the dogs eat the dogs

        E
And the innocent bleed

A                           E
The city can't cope and the cops don't care

        A
There's fear in the streets

           E
And it's a jungle out there
[Pre-Chorus]
E
I don't want it, don't want it

E
Don't want it, don't want it
[Chorus]
D                 A
Somebody stole my car

D                 A
Somebody stole my automobile

D                             A
They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels

            C
And if it's happened to you

         G
Then you know how I feel

G
Somebody stole my car
[Solo] A|E|A|E| [Chorus]
D                 A
Somebody stole my car

D                   A
I left it parked outside of my home

         D             A
It had a new A/C and a cellular phone

           C
And I'm as sick as a dog

               G
'Cos I'm still paying off the loan

G
Somebody stole my car
[Solo] |A|E|A|E| [Verse]
A                  E
That's life in the metropolis

A                    E
Living on credit and overdrawn interest

A                      E
Craving commercialized commodities

A                      E
Everything advertised, stirring up greed

A       D E
Everyday I wonder why

A       D E
Everyday I can't get away

    A                  E
The city's in debt, up past its ears

       A
Yet we still borrow more

           E
And pay it back next year

        A                       E
Now I'm paying for a car that I no longer own

        A                 E
And the next time anybody offers me a loan I'll say
[Interlude] |E|E| [Pre-Chorus]
E
I don't want it, don't want it

E
Don't want it, don't want it
[Chorus]
D                 A
Somebody stole my car

D                               A
It's just been cleaned and I've just had it taxed

       D                A
It had brand-new stereo speakers in the back

      C
And I call up the cops

       G
With a panic attack

G
Somebody stole my car
[Solo] |A|E|A|E| [Chorus]
D                 A
Somebody stole my car

D                               A
I bet they're riding around and running red lights

D                          A
Got chicks in the back and ballin' all night

        C
While I sit at home

        G
Getting more uptight

G
Somebody stole my car
[Solo] |A|E|A|E| |A|E| [Chorus]
D                 A
Somebody stole my car

D                 A
Somebody stole my automobile

     D                        A
They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels

            C
And if it's happened to you

         G
Then you know how I feel

G
Somebody stole my car
[Solo] |A|E|A|E| |A|E|E|E| [Pre-Chorus]
E
I Don't want it, don't want it

E                                  A
Don't want it, don't want it, don't
[Refrain]
E                 A
Somebody stole my car

E                 A
Somebody stole my car

E                 A
Somebody stole my car
[Verse]
A                E
That life in the metropolis

A                             E
Possessions mean nothing in a world like this

     A                         E
Some punks wanna ride and they see my car

        A
So they take it, shake it

               E
Burn it up and break it

                  A
Hey, that's my car
[Refrain]
E                 A
Somebody stole my car

E                 A
Somebody stole my car

E                 A
Somebody stole my car
[Outro]
E
 Beep beep, m'beep beep, yeah
