[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] This city doesn't know what's coming, [D] she doesn't feel the heat
[Bm] This city won't know what hit her, what [D] knocked her out into the street
This [Bm] city's thinking that it's over, [D] she's already fast asleep
So I'm [Bm] breaking out of here tonight
[D] We're
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] getting only what we need, I won't give you a chance to [D] survive
[Bm] And even then, it's a coin toss, you're on the [D] dice
[Bm] There's gotta be something better, something that feels more [D] alive
So I'm [Bm] breaking out of here, I'm [G] breaking out of here
[G] You gotta feel it girl, [Bm] feel the wind pick up
It
[G] feels like something's gonna change
[G] There's no use pulling the drive if all [Bm] the wheels are stirring
There's [G] something wrong here
Like a soul still wants to scream, but no [Bm] one makes a sound
[F#m]
[G] I'm through baby, [G] it's all fine after this, I'm gonna [Bm] tear it down
[Bm]
The moon is rolling baby, we don't have time for [G] goodbyes
[D] I know you can't come with me, I [G] see that look in your eyes
So kiss me fast, cause [D] there's no time to lose
[G] Leave [D] the light on, I'll come back for you
[B] [A] Everything you said, I swear [G] I'm gonna make it right
So I'm [D] breaking out of here tonight
[Bm]
[D] You're [Bm]
[D] [Bm] making it hard to breathe
[D] You're [Bm] making it hard to breathe
[D] [Bm] I'm so tired of giving up, I'm [D] so tired of giving in
[Bm] You wake up knowing things should change, not [D] knowing where to begin
[Bm] This city won't say where she's going, she [D] won't speak of where she's been
So I'm [Bm] breaking out of here tonight [G] Wake up
[Bm] [G]
[G] [Bm]
[G]
[Bm] [G]
[Bm]
I'm [D]
[G] turning back on the city
[Bm] Oh I'm turning back on the city
[B] [G] I'm turning back on the city
I said pray for [Bm] all the changes
I'm turning back on the city
Oh I'm turning back on the city
I said pray for all the violence that's gonna be in the city
[G] Oh I'm turning back on the city
I said pray for all the girls who [Bm] understand her
Oh I'm turning back on the city
I said pray for all the boys who understand her
Sometimes I just wanna drive until the streets run [G] out
I wanna burn until [Bm] there's nothing [G] left to burn about
[Em] This [D] city's waiting for a better [G] day
When I get back there will [D] be hell to [B] pay
If I'm [A] the only one, how will [G] I be afraid to fight?
I'm out of here
[G] Y'all see the scene, we're coming, I'm living [Bm] out of control
[G] I'm like the mother static
I'm like the mother static
I'm like the mother static on [Bm] the radio
All [G] the time is for [G] losing
If you can hear me sitting out, [Bm] it's message to me
Can [G] you bring the silence in a cigarette?
[G] I'm coming all out, eating as a little [Bm] cat and egg
If you [G] can hear me
Don't turn your back on the city
[Bm] Bring the silence in a cigarette
[G] Don't turn your back on the city
Bring the silence in a cigarette
[Bm] Don't turn-
Don't [G] turn your back on the city
[Bm] Don't [G] turn your back on the city
[Bm] Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Don't turn your back on the [F#m] city
