capo 2

G                       D                    C                       G
this is no river of sadness, 'cause this is no river at all
              Em                                   G
they kept turning out the lights, in the dark hour of night
      Am                              D
and luna was the last one to fall
G                              D                    C                                    G
there was no crisis of conscience, concrete has no conscience at all
     Em                                      G
the banks have been covered, the rest has been stripped
      Am                          D                                      G
and I've been away for so long    been this way for so long
                                            C            G                                          C
          no more turning out the lights                no more turning out the lights
G                                          C                                   G
          no more turning out the lights          anymore, anymore

G                               D           C                               G
I'd welcome you to my city, but I've got no place of my own
Em                                   G 
down on the coast is where I'm sighted most
     Am                          D
but isn't the coast line so long?
  G                           D            C                             G
again and again I was leaving, again and again I come back
           Em                                       G
but the smog from the smokestacks it covers the sky
      Am                                D                               G
and it gives you just what you lack       just what you lack
                                            C         G                                            C
          no more turning out the lights               no more turning out the lights
G                                          C                                        G
          no more turning out the lights               anymore, anymore

      G                              D        C                                    G
no, we don't believe in the angels, much less the women and men
   Em                                         G
it seems like sometimes the sweet dreams that I find
        Am                          D
have taken the place of my friends
      G                       D                   C                       G
but this is no river of sadness, 'cause this is no river at all
             Em                                     G
we kept turning out the lights, it might not have been right
     Am                              D                                               G
but luna was the last one to fall                   and the last one to fall
                                            C         G                                          C
          no more turning out the lights             no more turning out the lights
G                                          C                                      G...
          no more turning out the lights             anymore, anymore
