VERSE 1:

[Gm] underneath the street light
the de-
[Cm]-light of joy I know
^
[D#] Scared beyond be-^
[D]-lief
way down in the
[Gm] shadows
BRIDGE:

[A#]-verted fear of violence
chokes a

[Cm] breakdown
Oh ^

And as the roads
[A#] jam up with credit
and there's
[F] nothing you can do
[D#] It's all just bits of paper,
[D] flying a way from you

look who's
[Cm] down there
You must ^
[D#] learn this lesson fast, ^
[D] and learn it
[Gm] well
