album : the suburbs

intro : C Em F Dm

C
you told us that
Em
we were too young
F
now that night’s closing in
Dm
and in the half light , we run

C
lock us up safe
Em
and hide the key
F
but the night tears us loose
Dm
and in the half light , we’re free

C Em F Dm

C
strange how the half light
Em
can make a place new
F
you can’t recognize me
Dm
and i can’t recognize you

C
we run through the streets
Em
that we know so well
F
and the houses hide so much
Dm
we’re in the half light
G
none of us can tell
C
they hide the ocean in a shell
G C G
the ocean in a shell

F
our heads are just houses
Dm
without enough windows
F
they say you hear human voices
G C
but they only echo

G C
they only echo
G C
they only echo
G C
only echo

G C G C

C Em
we are not listening , we are on the streets
C Em
we are not listening , we are on the streets
C Em
we are not listening , we are on the streets
C Em
we are not listening , we are on the streets
