F Am D
[Verse 1]
C D
People on the underground
G
Sit silent as their tubes arrive on time
Faces like immortal stone
G
Suppressing what they really feel inside
But who am I to criticize
G F
I close my eyes and I'll just keep on walking
[Chorus]
F Am
Somebody's city
G
Somebody's life
F Am
Somebody's city
G
Somebody's life
[Verse 2]
C
Smokestacks pointing to the sky
D G
And oil forever floating on the river
C
Impairing all the beauty God
D G
Cre-ated in this life for you and me
C
But what the hell do I care
D G F
I'll pre-tend it isn't there and I'll keep on walking
[Chorus]
F Am
Somebody's city
G
Somebody's life
[Bridge]
D
Even outside you find the rush hour's on
C
You're getting pushed everywhere, you're jammed in doorways
G
Man, it's so hard to move
D
Smoke fills the air, my lungs are turning to coal
C
It's getting so hard to breathe
G F
I'm sorry lady if I'm leaning on you
[Instrumental]
F Am G F Am G
[Verse 3]
C
I feel the time will surely come
D G
When every-one will put their hands together
C
And pray the rain might wash away
D G
The filth that we've donated to this land
C
But in-between what can be done?
D G F
You dig your graves while I just stand there looking
[Chorus]
F Am
Somebody's city
G
Somebody's life
F Am
Somebody's city
G
Somebody's life
