C                       F         G

Dm          Dm/C           G
I'd like to leave it up to you

(verse)
C                 F          G
Why would anybody leave this place?

C    /B  /Bb       F7    F7/6  F7
It's overdrawn and won't e -   rase

Dm            Dm/C          G
And if you're feeling incomplete

Dm          Dm/C              G
the line is stretching up the street





C
              Bb                 Dm         G
    So take a look but you might stay until

C                      F         G
every sentence with an underline

C  /B /Bb  F7    F7/6  F7
never uses tur - pen - tine

Dm        Dm/C               G
Put out a fleece and build a kite

Dm        Dm/C        G
A siren's going off tonight


(verse)
C                         F         G
Lay your head down do you call this chance?

C     /B  /Bb  F7   F7/6 F7
Found the exit this en - trance

Dm        Dm/C            G
Now's the time (and it is still)

Dm        Dm/C            G
I'm sorry that I kept you waiting here until


    (chorus)  
          Bb          Dm             G                     
    Hey Luanda do you want a thrill?

                     Bb           Dm      G
    We can watch the lights shine up from Bunker Hill

                        Bb 
    But if it puts your heart at ease

       G7
    My baby please ...




B
        E                  Am           
        Try, but you can't hide  Impossible.
R
               E              F 
        You're lit from the inside
I
                            Dm
        And all I've got to do is keep 
D
           Bb             F        Dm
        My eyes above the ground
G
           F             G7          
        To see you move around

The only points of light are fires on Vermont

Dm       Dm/C              G
Somebody must suspect that all we really want




    (chorus)  
         Bb           Dm          G
    Is a tranquilizer gun to fill

           Bb       Dm     G
    It's a free-for-all on Bunker Hill

    on the trapeze ...
