^EmI went walking in the wasted city ^CStarted thinking about entropy ^AmSmelled the wind from the ruined river ^EmWent home to watch TV

[Pre-Chorus]

^EmAnd it's worse when I try to remember ^CWhen I think about then and now ^AmI'd rather see it on the news at eleven ^EmSit back, and watch it run straight down

[Chorus]

^EmRun straight down Run straight ^Cdown I can see it with my ^Ameyes closed Run straight ^Emdown

^EmWe've been ^Amliving in the shadows all our ^Emlives Where it's ^Amstand in line and don't look back And don't ^Emlook left and don't look right ^Am So we hide our eyes and ^Emwonder who'll survive ^D Waiting for the ^Bnight...
