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