Gm Eb
Boy on the bus with a startled face
F Cm
Delicate hands at the difficult age
Gm Eb
Clutching so hard at a plastic bag
F Cm
A masterpiece in bone and rag
Gm Eb
Inaminate ghosts on the 46
F Cm
The wizened trees look like pick-up sticks
Gm Eb
Everybody said she's a generous girl
F Cm
Now they're pulling up her body from the black canal
[Chorus]
F Gm Eb Bb
Sweet defeat, I wanna leave the city so bad
F Gm Eb Bb
Dog tired on my feet, I wanna leave the city so bad
F Gm Eb Bb
Take everything we own, turn the lights off and go and never look back
F Cm Eb
You just say the word, the word
Gm
I won't say no
[Verse]
Gm Eb
I don't know, but I've noticed you
F Cm
Ain't been walking that way with our boy, it's true
Gm Eb
Everywhere you look it's a burial ground
F Cm
Every swirling eddy where your dreams get drowned
Eb
They get drowned
[Chorus]
F Gm Eb Bb
Sweet defeat, I wanna leave the city so bad
F Gm Eb Bb
Dog tired on my feet, I wanna leave the city so bad
F Gm Eb Bb
Take everything we own, turn the lights off and go and never look back
F Cm
You just say the word, the word, the word
[Middle 8]
Fm Eb D
The word
Fm Eb D
The word
Fm Eb D
The word
Fm Eb D
The word
[Chorus]
F Gm Eb Bb
Sweet defeat, I wanna leave the city so bad
F Gm Eb Bb
Dog tired on my feet, I wanna leave the city so bad
F Gm Eb Bb
All the lonely streets, I wanna leave the city so bad
F Gm Eb Bb
Dog tired on my feet, on my feet, I wanna leave, I wanna leave, I wanna leave and
F Gm Eb Bb
Take everything we own, turn the lights off and go and never look back
F Gm Eb Bb
Never look back, everything we own, turn the lights off and go and never look back
F Cm
You just say the word, the word
F Cm
You just say the word, the word
Gm
I won't say no
[Outro]
Gm Eb F
Boy on the bus, boy on the bus, boy on the bus
Gm
I won't say no
