G D Bm C
G D Bm C
Am
Abalone, I’d be lonely too
I’d be roaming, if I were you
No oligarchy, no invisible hand
Like abalone, buried in the sand
Chorus
C G Em D
I’m leaving town to find some space
These billboards lie right to your face
I swear this city’s driving me insane
Verse
G D Bm C
G D Bm C
Am
Abalone, I’d be lonely too
I’d be roaming, if I were you
I’ll find a nice tree, do what I do best
Just my guitar and me, no one to impress
Chorus
C G Em D
I’m leaving town to find some space
These billboards lie right to your face
I swear this city’s driving me insane
I’ll drug myself to find some peace
From future ghosts and memories
And all these people, with their opinions
Philosophy from fashion victims
With skyward eyes, like God could save them
Forgive us Lord, we can’t be sated
Forget the faces, forget the names
I swear this city’s driving me insane
(Capo where suits)
