^B5Gonna make a record in the month of May In the month of May, in the month of May ^E5Gonna make a record in the ^G5month of May When the ^A5violent wind blows the ^B5wires away

Month of May, it's a violent thing In the city their hearts start to sing

Well, ^E5some people singing ^G5sounds like screaming ^A5 Used to doubt it but ^B5now I believe it

Month of May, everybody sing love In the city, watch it from above

And ^E5just when I knew what I ^G5wanted to say ^A5 The violent wind blew the ^B5wires away

We were shocked in the suburbs Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight The kids are all standing with their arms folded tight

Well, ^E5some things are pure and ^G5some things are right But the ^A5kids are still standing with their ^B5arms folded tight I said ^E5some things are pure and ^G5some things are right But the ^A5kids are still with their ^B5arms folded tight

So young, so young So much pain for someone so young, well

^E5 I know it's heavy, I ^G5know it ain't light But ^A5how you gonna lift it with your ^B5arms folded tight

First of the town That's why we're still driving around

And a^E5round and around and a^G5round and around And a^A5round and around and a^B5round and around (And around and around and around and around)

Two-thousand nine, two-thousand ten Wanna make a record how I felt then

When I ^E5stood outside in the ^G5month of May And watched the ^A5violent wind blow the ^B5wires away

If I died in the month of May Let the wind take my body away, then

^E5 Wish I may or ^G5I wish I might You can ^A5meet me down there with my ^B5arms folded tight

^CThey heard me singing and they told me to ^Amstop Quit these pretentious things and ^Fjust punch the ^Cclock These days my life, I feel it has no ^Ampurpose But late at night the feelings ^Fswim to the ^Csurface

'Cause on the surface the city lights ^Amshine They're calling at me, come and ^Ffind your ^Ckind Sometimes I wonder if the World's so ^Amsmall That we can never get a^Fway from the ^Csprawl

Chorus:

^FLiving in the ^Csprawl F C F C C/B Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains And there's ^Amno end in sight I need the darkness, someone ^Fplease cut the ^Clights

^CWe rode our bikes to the nearest ^Ampark Sat under the swings and ^Fkissed in the ^Cdark We shield our eyes from the police ^Amlights We run away, but we ^Fdon't know ^Cwhy

On the black river, the city lights ^Amshine They're screaming at us, we don't ^Fneed your ^Ckind Sometimes I wonder if the world's so ^Amsmall That we can never get a^Fway from the ^Csprawl

Chorus D# Cm D# G
