[Verse]

                   G       
I'm staring down a mile of 
             D
Disappearing track.

C             G        
  Is this the best that 
         D
We could do?

                        G        
I'm leaning through the rain but 
                  D
You ain't looking back.

C            G            D
  What did I ever have to prove?

                          Em     
Because it feels like electricity

C               D
 Hitting an open field.

               Em
When am I ever gonna learn:
        C                
Married life's two people 

Am                 Bm
Trying to grab the wheel.
 
 
[Chorus]
                         G
Oh, and we must have got lost

          C
Living on Dark Street,

               Am
Looking for an exit,

                D
Sleeping on the concrete.

                           G
You can't see it with your eyes.

                       C
You can't find it with your feet.

                         Am
All I know is that we're lost, baby,

D                     F F# (G)
  And we're living on Dark  Street.
 
 
[Interlude]

G  Em G C  G  Am  D  F F# G
 
 
[Verse]

                       
All the layoffs and the 

G                     Bm
Pay cuts cripple me inside.

C                
  I pay the price 

    G           D
For living everyday,

                        G     
Trying to keep us all together 
                    Bm
Along with a little pride.

C            G                D
  What'll it take to make you stay?
                          Em
But I've dreamed about an island,
          C                 D
And all I got's a bucket of sand.
                        
I'd give my eyes to give 
    Em
You all your dreams.

      C                    
Now I get to see my family 
Am                  Bm
Slipping through my hands.
 
 
[Chorus]
                         G
Oh, and we must have got lost
              C
Oh, livin’ on Dark Street,
               Am
Looking for an exit,
                Em D
Sleeping on the concrete.
                           G
You can't see it with your eyes.
D                        C
  You can't find it with your feet.
                   
All I know is that 
      Am
We're lost, baby,

D                     F F# G
  And we're living on Dark Street.
                           G
You can't see it with your eyes.
                       C
You can't find it with your feet.
                 
All I know is that 
      Am
We're lost, baby, 

D                     F F# G     Em
  And we're living on Dark Street.
C                          Am
  All I know is that we're lost, baby,
D                     F    G     Em
  And we're living on Dark Street.
C                   
  All I know is that 
      Am
We're lost, baby,

D                     F    G     Em
  And we're living on Dark Street.
C                  
  All I know is that 
      Am
We're lost, baby,

D                     F    G
  And we're living on Dark Street.
