[Verse 1]
F#
Sprawling on the fringes of the city
Bm           A
In geometric order
   Bm        A
An insulated border
Bm             A
In between the bright lights
        G     A          Bm
And the far unlit unknown
G A F#

[Verse 2]
F#
Growing up it all seems so onesided
 Bm             A
Opinions all provided
    Bm          A
The future predecided
  Bm              A
Detached and subdivided
       G       A           Bm
In the mass production zone
G       A      Bm             G      A       Bm
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone
G A Bm G A Bm

[Chorus]
G       A           Bm
 In the high school halls
G       A        Bm
 In the shopping malls
G           A      Bm
 Conform or be cast  out
G       A        Bm
 In the basement bars
G       A        Bm
 In the backs of cars
G           A      Bm   G A Bm
 Be cool or be cast  out

[Post-Chorus]
G                A       Bm
Any escape might help to smooth
    A            Bm
The unattractive truth
A       G               A         Bm
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
    A                 Bm     A
The restless dreams of  youth

[Verse 3]
F#
Drawn like moths we drift into the city
    Bm             A
The timeless old attraction
Bm               A
Cruising for the action
Bm            A
Lit up like a firefly
G       A        Bm
Just to feel the living night
G A F#

[Verse 4]
F#
Some will sell their dreams for small desires
   Bm               A
Or lose the race to rats
    Bm                A
Get caught in ticking traps
    Bm                A
And start to dream of somewhere
     G         A              Bm
To relax their restless flight
G         A        Bm
Somewhere out of a memory
   G              A   Bm
Of lighted streets on quiet nights
G A Bm G A Bm

[Chorus]
G       A           Bm
 In the high school halls
G       A        Bm
 In the shopping malls
G           A      Bm
 Conform or be cast  out
G       A        Bm
 In the basement bars
G       A        Bm
 In the backs of cars
G           A      Bm   G A Bm
 Be cool or be cast  out

[Post-Chorus]

Any escape might help to smooth
    A            Bm
The unattractive truth
A       G               A         Bm
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
    A                 Bm     A
The restless dreams of  youth
