[E]
[Em] [A] [Am]
[G] [Em] [A]
[C#m] [C#] [Em] In the city, [C#] the hearth still whispers
[C] Flaking metal, [Em] a silent witness
This chemical fuels the cathode cloud
[C] [Em] The milking way is [C#] [C] emasculated
Exhaust [G] fans and smart cars shrink [Em] right to the color there
[C#] And send it coughing [C] to eternity
[Em] We can't see the [C] bright lights
[G] But we can reach [Em] them
Without a threat in our hearts
[C] Going [Em] back the wrong way
[C] You cannot steal, you cannot [G] leave [Em] here
Concrete, you don't free my [C] soul
[E] [Am]
[Em] [E] Concrete, you don't [Em] free [E] [Am] my [Em] soul
Masters, masters
[A] [G#m] [Am]
[E] In
[N] [Em] the city, the sound is botching
[C] Cine singers, [Em] they are clutching
And the street [A] trash, it wrecks [C] the world in three
[Am] [D]
[Am] No eye on me, yes you can't see my hands
[D]
[G] Concrete, you don't [C] free my soul
You're just the eye of the [D] sea
[Am] Blackened hands and heart of steel
No choice, no one can reach the [D] sky
[G] Concrete, you [E] don't free my [E] soul
[C]
[E] [C] [Em]
[E] [Em] Concrete, you don't free my soul
[Am] Concrete, [Em] [F]
[E] you don't [A] free my soul
[E]
[Em] [Am] [E]
[Em] [E]
[A] [E] Concrete
I got [A] [Am]
it all, I'm gonna be one
[B] I dream it
[Bm] [B]
