    A E			    A	   E	  A 
	Been living in the city too long now 
      E			    B7	     E 
	Even my lungs have started to groan 
    A E		      A		  E	  A 
	Everybody is singing their own song 
      E			B7	    E 
	Sometimes I want  to sing alone 
 
	 
    E A		      E 
	Never been a prima donna 
	   A				E	   B7 
	I never seem to want to be the one to complain 
   B7 E			       A 
	Enough's too much and now I'm a goner 
	C#m		   A		  B7	      E 
	Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane 
 
	 
      A			  E 
	Take me where the sun won't shine on me 
      A			  E		  B7 
	Take me where my conscience won't go now 
      E			   A 
	Take me where the sun won't shine - on me 
	C#m		   A		     B7		      E 
	Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know 
	C#m		   A		     B7		      E 
	Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

    A E			      A		E	 A 
	Everyone around this town is so angry now 
      E				     B7	   E 
	Blaring horns and swearing; shaking fists 
    A E			     A		 E     A 
	If everybody in the world was a hit man 
      E				      B7	 E 
	We'd wipe each other off each other's hit lists 
 
	 
    E A			 E 
	Who wants to stand and be counted 
	   A				  E		B7    B7	 
	Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now 
      E				A 
	I don't want to be the one to start the shouting 
	    C#m		    A	     B7		E 
	I'm part of this society and I know my place 
 
	 
      A			  E 
	Take me where the sun won't shine on me 
      A			  E		  B7 
	Take me where my conscience won't go now 
      E			   A 
	Take me where the sun won't shine - on me 
	C#m		   A	 	     B7		      E 
	Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know 
	C#m		   A		     B7		      E 
	Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know 
 
	 
    A E 
	Everything around this town is so boring 
 
	Well nothing changes; Nothing doesn't stay the same 
    A E 
	Ten years when we had high ideals 
 
	We couldn't wait to play the protest game 
 
	 
    E A			      E 
	But now we have our thing together 
    E A				       E      B7(sus4) 
	Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts 
      E			     A 
	Who cares about the starving millions 
	 C#m	    A		    B7		 E 
	We're just happy that our cheques don't bounce 
 
	 
      A			  E 
	Take me where the sun won't shine on me 
      A			  E		  B7 
	Take me where my conscience won't go now 
      E			   A 
	Take me where the sun won't shine - on me 
	C#m		   A		     B7		      E 
	Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know 
	C#m		   A		     B7		      E 
	Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to ... 
	    C#m		       A		 B7		  E 
	No, Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know 
 
    A E        A   E   A E     B7   E 
    A E        A   E   A E     B7   E
