C Am/D
G C/G Am/G C/G Am/D (x2)
G C
When I see the light why is it terrifying,
Am Am/G C Am/D
it's terrifying, it's coming up, I'm going down
G C
Down into the streets that got me here
Am Am/G C Am/D
It's blinding, blinding light, it's not supposed to rain today
C/G C/B Am/G
I see it now, it was just moving too fast
C/G C/B Am/G
I see it now like a reflection in my past
C/G C/B Am/G
Rivers of poison that surround us
Am/D(2)
on an island full of death and rats, subways and taxicabs
G C Am
And you, and those blinding lights
G C Am C Am/D
Yeah you and those blinding lights
G C
I just want to sleep why is it never over
Am Am/G C Am/D
The day before keeps running through my head I need the
G C
Downs in the street, it's awe inspiring,
Am Am/G C Am/D
The strangers passing, nobody stops to say goodbye
C/G C/B Am/G
I see it now, it was just moving too fast
C/G C/B Am/G
I see it now like a reflection in my past
C/G C/B Am/G
Rivers of poison that surround us
Am/D(2)
on an island full of death and rats, subways and taxicabs,
All night bars, and mistakes you know I made before
Days and nights, endless, overripe, buses and traffic lights
and tourists with subway maps and
G C Am
You and those blinding lights
G C Am C Am/D
Yeah you and those blinding lights
G C Am
Yeah you and those blinding lights
G C Am
Yeah you and those blinding lights
Am/G C Am/D G
Shining on the death and rats
