[Verse 1]
[G]Single [D]Fil[G]e
[F#m][G][D][A][G]

[Verse 2]
[Em]
Wake [G]up to a [D]world over[A]cast
in [Bm]concrete [G]skies.[D]
[A]Where the [G]smell of ex[D]haust is a [A]factor
in [Bm]people's [G]daily [A]lives.[F#m]
You [G]elevate to [D]earn your[Bm]self [G]the status,[D]
[A]then walk hom[G]e alo[D]ne at the end[A]
of the [Bm]day in [G]single f[F#m]ile.

[Verse 3]
[Em]Hard to [G]come to terms with [Asus4]how they do it[Em],[D]
[F#m]
[Em]when the streets are [D]lined with
[Bm]houses [A]you can't [G]live in.
[D][F][Dm][G]

[A][G][A][Em]

[Verse 4]
[G]Meagre sleep to spend time in tall bui[D]ldings,
in [G]front of scrolling numbers
on com[F#m]puter screens.
[G]All her friends stay [A]logged
in[Bm]to t[G]he system,
[D]in fea[G]r of wha[D]t would go [A]down
[Bm]if they tr[G]ied to[F#m] hide.

[Verse 5]
[Em]Hard to [Bm]come to terms with [A]how they [Em]do i[D]t,
[F#m]
when the [Em]air is [D]formed of [Bm]things
that [A]you can't [G]breathe [D]in.[F]
[Em]Scan [D]the streets in [G]search
[A]of something [G]better.[D][F#m]
I've [Em]been [D]here since I [Bm]can rem[A]ember [G].
[D][F][Dm]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Hard to come to terms with [D]all the [Bm]consequence at [A]stake to [G]stay there.
[F#m]She'd [Em]lie awake for hours [G]dreaming u[Bm]p a better pl[A]ace, where ma[G]ybe...
Hard to come to terms with all the [Bm]effort that it [A]takes,
to [G]stay here.
[F#m]She'd [A]lie[Em] awak[G]e for hour[Em]s
[G]thinking of [Bm]another way.[A]
[G]My Lady, [F#m]you're [Em]gone. [D]It's [Bm]done.

[D][G]
[Bm][Em]
My [Esus4]mind is[Em]

[Verse 7]
ra[D]cing but I
[Bm]can 't feel my h[F#m]ead.
This world an island, [Bm]isol[A]ated conscience
buried [D]in [Bm]the [G]sand. [Bm]Sleeping.[Em]
The [Esus4]blurry me[Em]morie[D]s
they [Bm]come as they [F#m]go,
so hard to focus when [Bm]The City w[A]atches
[F#m]everyt[Bm]hing you do[G],[A][D][G]
[Em]and stops [G]you [Em]from [G]dreaming. I'm
[Bm][Em]
[D][Bm][F#m]
leaving. Soon.
