Bene[Eb]ath the c[Bb]ity 
two h[Bb]earts beat[Bb]
Soul [Cm]engines running through a 
[Bb]night so tend[Cm]er 
[Bb]in a [Abmaj7]bedroom l[Bb]ocked
In w[Abmaj7]hispers of s[Bb]oft 
ref[Eb]usal and t[Bb]hen 
sur[Ab]rende[Bb7]r 
in the t[Eb]unnels uptown
The Rats own dream 
guns him down 
as shots [Cm]echo down 
[C9sus]them hallways in 
the nigh[Cm]t[C9sus]
No one [Abmaj7]watches 
when the ambu[Bb]lance 
pulls awa[Abmaj7]y[Bb]
Or as the [Cm]girl shuts out 
the [C]bedroom light[Cm]

[G]Outside the [Dm]streets 
on f[C]ire

Be[G]tween fl[Dm]esh and

don't write [F]nothing 
at all[G7sus] 
they j[G]ust [Dm]stand back 
and [C]let it all[F] be[G7sus][G]
[G]And in the q[Bb]uick 
of the night 
they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand 
[Dm]but they wind up wounded[Bb] 
not even dead
