PART II: 
 
Verse 3: 
(soft)    D                       A 
At the center of the Earth in the parking lot 
       Bm                 A 
Of the Seven-Eleven where I was taught 
G                    A 
The motto was just a lie 
(soft)  D                              A 
It says home is where your heart is, but what a shame

I read the graffiti on the bathroom stall 
       Bm                       A 
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall 
G                    A 
And so it seemed to confess 
(soft)  D                        A 
It didn't say much but it only confirmed 
    
         Bm                         A 
That the center of the Earth is the end of the world 
G                    A 
And I can really care less. 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
Bm   A 
City of the dead 
D             G 
At the end of another lost highway

City of the damned

No one really seems to care
