GOODNIGHT, CITY

verse: G Bm Em C D G
chorus: Em B7 C G Em B7 Em Em
bridge:[G G7 C Cm] x3 [D# Bb C] x3 D

the streetcar is alight
it couldn't happen more than twice
& the cellphone crew is out full force
well everyone has their price
late night st. jamestown cemetery
is the only safe place to walk
& down on bay street all the angry youth
are armed to the teeth with rocks.

[chorus]
it's high time we tucked you in / & called it a day
goodnight, city, now all your sins / are safely tucked away

it's a matter of time
before this produce will sour
& a twelve-year old is buying smokes
every hour on the hour
the door to the coffeeshop
is held by a shaking homeless man
& there's a deal on a stereo
in the back, in the back of a van.

[chorus]

[bridge]
don't you care what we think?
won't you help me to take
a step back from the brink?
cause i'm scared it will break
don't you know how to take care
of everything that needs a home
her crazy talk is really a poem
she makes them up so she won't be alone
so...goodnight.

[chorus]
