G               D                   C
I live in a city people wanna move into
G               D                   C
I do all the things that people say they wanna do
G               D                   C
But when the songs that we write don’t shake the college student loans
G               D                   C
Everybody in town wants to move back home

Dark in the city
Dark, Dark in the city
                   C
Yeah but there’s a light on the inside
Light on the inside

Dark, Dark in the city

G                          D                   C
All the shops on my street only sell expensive things
G                     D               C
We have everything that nobody really needs
G                               D                       C
But if you go a little further, little further down the road
G                                        D                   C
The families live on foodstamps, and the kids wear worn out clothes

Dark in the city
Dark, Dark in the city

Yeah but there’s a light on the inside

G                   D                        C
Everybody knows her from the corner down the street
G                             D                   C
Cause she asks for money from everybody that she meets
G                           D                         C
But no one knows the demons putting words inside her mouth
G                             D                     C
She used to be a streetlamp, now her light is going out.
