[Intro]









[Verse 1]
              
Said what kind

    
 of city
              
Has got the st

            
ate in it's na


me
              
You said every

            
thing's shitty

When you frame it that way
              
Well it's been

   
 a month
              
You're already

    
 in love
             
You were the d


reamer

I'm a stick in the mud

[Pre-Chorus 1]
              
But I hate how

      
 this city
              
Makes everythi

   
ng painful
              
Knocks you on 

     
your ass then 

tells
       
You to be grat

eful
              
I live in the 


gutter
              
And in the dum

         
pster in Midto

wn
              
As long as I'm

 
 all yours
           
When you lay y

    
our head down

[Chorus 1]
           
We do what we 

             
can to keep th

  
e lights on
           
We try to make

             
 friends with 


empty space
           
Living round h

             
ere is just ch

      
asing shadows
           
'Cause you're 

             
the only thing

              
 keeping me in

      
 this place
           
You're the onl

             
y thing keepin

lace

[Instrumental]









[Verse 2]
            
Trading our ho

me
              
For 500 square

 
 feet
             
I did it for y


ou
              
I know you'd d

     
o it for me
        
I'll be fine
              
I got time to 


kill
        
I don't mind
              
You know I'll 

            
swallow the pi

ll

[Pre-Chorus 2]
          
And I'll live 

         
with the assho

les
          
And the douche

        
bags on wall s

treet
              
And I don't se

      
e the magic
           
When we got so

        
mething concre

te
              
I live in the 


gutter
              
In the dumpste

     
r in Midtown
              
As long as I'm

 
 all yours
           
When you lay y

[Chorus 2]
          
We do what we
