[Verse 1]
Gm                Eb
  Prison bars inside our homes
     Bb             F
gone way too far this time
 Gm                   Eb
it's skin on skin for skin tonight
    Bb           F
and I stand in plain sight - I watch
 it drown
Gm                 Eb
Where the fires burn right beside,
        Bb              F         
they'll burn it to the ground - 
                   Gm   Eb
and we'll never know
        Bb       F     C   F
we'll never know - oh

[Verse 2]
Gm                  Eb
  Paper plates and dinner trays
         Bb               F
stacked away, stomach groans
   Gm                 Eb
to see you see the sight of me
        Bb             F
would surely break my bones - I wash
 it down
Gm                   Eb
   And the fires burned bright 
outside
     Bb                F      
my house it's not a home  - and 
                      Gm Eb
we'll never know
            Bb       F   F
we'll never know - oh

[Chorus]
              Gm    Eb            
Under these spotlights down on the
      Bb      F
 streets I roam
             Gm      Eb           
I'm looking for prophets born from
       Bb     F
 these broken homes

and under this sunshine revealed 
       Bb          F
your brilliant cast
                  Gm            
if you never burn bright, if you 
           Eb                 
never take flight you're always 
Bb          F
looking back

[Verse 3]
         Gm           Eb
Oh - swept away from holidays
        Bb              F
had to learn to play pretend
 Gm               Eb
a list to list a list of things
    Bb                 F
I wish that I could send - I toss it
 out
Gm                  Eb
  The "once upon a time" for you
         Bb                 F     
never reached this blighted home -
                        Gm   Eb
 and you'll never know
        Bb           F         
and you'll never know - oh  - oh 
       F
you'll never know

[Chorus]
               Gm    Eb           
Under these spotlights down on the
       Bb      F
 streets I roam
               Gm   Eb            
I'm looking for prophets born from
         B     F
 these broken homes
               Gm  Eb          
and under this sunshine revealed 
        Bb          F
your brilliant cast
                  Gm            
if you never burn bright, if you 
        Eb                    
never take flight you're always 
B          F
looking back

 Ab                               
Momma said goodnight, tried her 
Eb             Bb
best to keep you warm
              Ab
the cold outside it broke her down,
            Eb               Bb
the fire gone, papa left so long ago
          Ab
and it's been so long, and it's been
 so long
     Eb               Bb
wonder who you have to blame
                    Ab          
sitting under this spotlight you 
                  Eb         Bb
find yourself ready for the change

[Verse 4]
Gm                    Eb
Prison bars inside our home
      Bb                  F
went way too far that night
     Gm                   Eb
was skin on skin for skin my son,
    Bb                 F
and you stood in plain sight

[Chorus]
                 Gm    Eb         
Looking for the spotlights down on
         Bb       F
 the streets I roam
               Gm    Eb           
I'm looking for prophets born from
       Bb       F
 these broken homes
                Gm Eb          
and under this sunshine revealed 
        Bb          F
your brilliant cast
                  C             
if you never burn bright, if you 
          Eb                   
never take flight you're always 
     Bb
looking back.
                 Ab
always looking back
