[Strophe]
D 
    No painted trains on the underground 
                                Em   Bm       A 
No kids with spray cans jumping over fences 
        D 
All the suits and the ties all march in a straight line 
                    Em     Bm 
Deafening the sound of the helpless
[Pre-Refrain]
G                                Bm  A 
  It’s a city of a thousand heartbeats 
G                        Bm  A 
  No room for another soul 
G 
  Same building on a different street 
      Em 
But nobody knows
[Refrain]
        D 
Tear it down 'til it's gone 
                           G      Em 
All you ever, all you ever wanted 
         D 
Kill the lights, while they're on 
                                 G       Em 
Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?
[Strophe]
D 
Stand in a line for a hole in the wall 
                                 Em        Bm        A 
‘Cause people still need cash to buy their freedom 
D 
Moving forward walking back 
                        Em       Bm 
Everyone is falling but we don’t see them
[Pre-Refrain]
G                              Bm  A 
  A day away from a stroke of bad luck 
G                                     Bm  A 
  Money’s slipping right through the cracks 
G 
  It’s a shame how we don’t know 
        Em 
What we really have
[Refrain]
        D 
Tear it down 'til it's gone 
                           G      Em 
All you ever, all you ever wanted 
         D 
Kill the lights, while they're on 
                                 G       Em 
Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?
[Pont]
  D         D         G         Em          
 
  D         D        
  
                   G      Em 
Is it all you ever wanted?
[Pre-Refrain]
G                                     Bm  A 
  Mine’s the city with a thousand heartbeats 
G                                     Bm  A 
  We’re just trying to keep a dream alive 
G 
  New sign on an old street 
        Em 
I don’t recognise
[Refrain]
        D 
Tear it down 'til it's gone 
                           G      Em 
All you ever, all you ever wanted 
         D 
Kill the lights, while they're on 
                                 G       Em 
Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?
