I learnt of this song from my Uke club and thought it would be a great addition to the blog. I'd advise playing it C, Am, F with your finger barring the third fret, and move up for the last verse. I put the chords down for those of you who don't want to do that. Enjoy!

Intro: D#
D# Cm
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
G# D#
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
Cm
These days my life, I feel it has no purpose
G# D#
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface
Cm
'Cause on the surface the city lights shine
G# D
They're calling at me, come and find your kind
Cm
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
G# D
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Chorus:
G# D#
Living in the sprawl
G# D# G# D#
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
Cm
And there's no end in sight
G# D#
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
D# Cm
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
G# D#
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
Cm
We shield our eyes from the police lights
G# D#
We run away, but we don't know why
Cm
On the black river, the city lights shine
G# D#
They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind
Cm
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
G# D#
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Chorus:
G# D#
Living in the sprawl
G# D# G# D#
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
Cm
And there's no end in sight
G# D#
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
F# D#m F# A#
E C#m
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
A E
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
C#m
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
A E
Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
Chorus:
G# D#
Living in the sprawl
G# D# G# D#
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
Cm
And there's no end in sight
G# D#
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
D# Cm
G# D#
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
