Verse 1 (w/Fig. 1)
=======
The cars leave their trails of hot and cold light inside my head
Like burned-in long exposure pictures 
The wheels spin slowly backwards
Strobing in the amber light 
And the rain comes down and washes my brain
But it don't get clean 

Chorus
======
Chord Progression:
| E5 | A5 | G5 | D5 |

This town has turned me into what I have become 
This town dresses me up like a stranger 
This town performs in the window like the ultimate gift 
This town takes us down 
I feel like I'm losing you to this town 

Verse 2 (w/Fig. 1)
=======
We were saving our money for half of our lives 
We were saving our dreams 
And we came to this place to make the chances real 
In the big city 
But I've been counting the days
I've been watching you change 
And I can feel it dying 
The noise outside takes you in its arms 
Like a lamb to a lion 

Bridge (Play B5 4 times)
======
And down there somewhere among the noise 
The magazine dolls and the big money boys 
Move silently on their easy heels 
They move silently on their greasy wheels 

Chorus (there is a guitar part but I can't make it out)
======
This town has turned me into what I have become 
This town dresses you up like a stranger 
This town hangs around in the doorway and tells me I'm late
This town takes us down, takes us down 
I feel like I'm losing you to this town
