        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 E     B7   E 
        A E        A   E   A E     B7   E 
         
 
        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
