Never The Bright Lights

Intro
E-A-E-A-; (8x)

              E                        A
I see the people walking down the street at night
             E                  A
And they all look like they long for a fight
                 E                    A
It's like a dream where everybody is for sale
   E                                     A
In a country where they're angry and the sky is pale
        E                                  A
We always want something more, then we want it all
        E
Then you can go back to your life
        A
If that's what it's called
                E                         A
It's such a terrible fate to be young and ugly
       E                       A
To be faced with so much uncertainty
         B                      D,A
You'd better keep your sanity
         B                      D,A
You'd better keep your sanity

Chorus
    E                        A
Bright lights go up, big city come down
    E                        A
Bright lights go up, big city come down
    E                        A
Bright lights go up, big city come down
    E                        A
Bright lights go up, big city come down

              E
All this confusion
                      A
Gives you notions of self-destruction
            E                        A
So you think of a way to keep us together
       E
He may be black, he may be white
        A
But they don't need to fight
         E                            A
In a city where there's too much violence already
                E                       A
Look at the sky, its dirty and it's gray and filthy
         E                     A
And today looks just like yesterday
                E                 A
You ask yourself how long can a bad thing last
            E                          A
When we are sodden to our knees with so much strife
         B                                D,A
They say it's meant to change your life
         B                                D,A
They say it's meant to change your life

(Repeat Chorus)

               E                       
I see the people walking down the street at night
                                 A           B
And they all look like they long for a fight
              E
Just like the old man said
              A         B             E-A-B-
"What are you gonna do with your life"
  E                       A
Never the bright lights
  E                      A
Never the bright lights
