C#                                G#
Somewhere in Ann Arbor there's a broken traffic light
         A#m                       F#
Blinking softly for an audience of one
   C#                               G#
A boy who takes his comfort in the shelter of the night
         A#m                          F#
And stays up until the morning just because

Somewhere in Ann Arbor there’s an empty parking lot
Where he likes to go and look up at the moon
Ask himself where things went wrong and why he feels so caught
And hopes that things start changing someday soon

Chorus:
F#             C#
Oh, hes got it all
             G#                                    A#m
He's got the life that they all said that he would want
    F#              C#
And oh, hes got it good
            G#                                  A#m
So why the hell can't he start feeling like he should

Somewhere in Ann Arbor there’s a table set for two
Where he’d like to find some company to share
Spends the evening spilling his whole life to someone new
Perfect smile and ribbon in her hair

Somewhere in Ann Arbor there’s a vacant hotel room
Where he leaves all of his lovers high and dry
Pretends he’s got the thing they want and when he has them fooled
He crumbles and escapes into the night

Chorus - x3
