Key : C
[Verse 1]
F Am G
Hear the city roar
F
A creature that feeds
Am G
behind closed doors
Am
There's nothing it needs
G
But money and greed
F
And a warm place to sleep
[Verse 2]
F Am G
And the men up on the hill
F
Are playing their cards
Am G
like it’s all for thrills
Am
But what about us
G
We're playing for blood
F A
And we're playing for keeps
[Chorus 1]
D A/C#
Sometimes I dream there's
Bm A
a gate to the garden
G F#m
That only the earth
Em A
could break through
D A/C#
But what is a dream
Bm
but a light in the
A G
darkness A lie that
F#m Em F Am G F Am G
you wish would come true
[Verse 3]
F C G
All the busy wires
F
A new conversation
Am G
spreads like fire
Am
It's keeping us warm
G
But I see a storm
F
Coming over the clouds
[Verse 4]
F
And the rain will
Am G
pound us down
Dm
And before we know
F G
the world will drown
Am
We're gonna sink
G
We stand at the brink
F A
Right before the big plunge
[Chorus 2]
D A/C#
Sometimes I dream that
Bm A
the dam at the river
G
Will keep out the
F#m Em A
flooding of blue
D A/C#
But what is a dream
Bm
but a hope you hold
A G
onto A lie that you
F#m Em
wish would come true
