C           G F G#
In the city,
C               G F G#
The day is too hot
            C            G               F                   G#
And you're hoping for relief, 'cuz your head is filled with pain,
         C       A#              G#           G
But you get no relief, 'cuz the night is the same.

Chorus:
C            G# F C G#
In the night,
C                G#  F              G
in the night you see through jaded eyes.
C           G# F C G#
In the night,
C                 G#   F        G
in the night you feel, barely alive.

You live your life in darkness
You've got pennies on your eyes
And you say that it's alright
'Cause you never lived a lie
As you crawl back to your womb-like existence in the night

Chorus

     C            G#
You can't see no light,
         C                G#
but you hear those heavy footsteps,
         C         G#    F             G
And the little man inside twists your tormented
 G#  A# C G F G#
mind.

Your mind is filled with shadows
Your palms are wet with sweat
Limbs are bound and tangled in a fatal net
There are two things you can do
One is turn and fight
The other's run headlong into the night

Chorus

You can't see no light
But you hear those heavy footsteps
And the breathing at your side
Is it yours, or is it goodbye?
