Never The Bright Lights Rivermaya
Intro: E-A-E-A-; (8x)
E A
I see the people walking down the street at night
E A
And they all look like they long for a fight
E A
It's like a dream where everybody is for sale
E A
In a country where they're angry and the sky is pale
E A
We always want something more, then we want it all
E
Then you can go back to your life
A
If that's what it's called
E A
It's such a terrible fate to be young and ugly
E A
To be faced with so much uncertainty
B D,A
You'd better keep your sanity
B D,A
You'd better keep your sanity
Chorus
E A
Bright lights go up, big city come down
E A
Bright lights go up, big city come down
E A
Bright lights go up, big city come down
E A
Bright lights go up, big city come down
E
All this confusion
A
Gives you notions of self-destruction
E A
So you think of a way to keep us together
E
He may be black, he may be white
A
But they don't need to fight
E A
In a city where there's too much violence already
E A
Look at the sky, its dirty and it's gray and filthy
E A
And today looks just like yesterday
E A
You ask yourself how long can a bad thing last
E A
When we are sodden to our knees with so much strife
B D,A
They say it's meant to change your life
B D,A
They say it's meant to change your life
(Repeat Chorus)
