[Verse 1]
Gm Eb
Prison bars inside our homes
Bb F
gone way too far this time
Gm Eb
it's skin on skin for skin tonight
Bb F
and I stand in plain sight - I watch it drown
Gm Eb
Where the fires burn right beside,
Bb F Gm Eb
they'll burn it to the ground - and we'll never know
Bb F C F
we'll never know - oh
[Verse 2]
Gm Eb
Paper plates and dinner trays
Bb F
stacked away, stomach groans
Gm Eb
to see you see the sight of me
Bb F
would surely break my bones - I wash it down
Gm Eb
And the fires burned bright outside
Bb F Gm Eb
my house it's not a home - and we'll never know
Bb F F
we'll never know - oh
[Chorus]
Gm Eb Bb F
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam
Gm Eb Bb F
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes
Gm Eb Bb F
and under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast
Gm Eb Bb F
if you never burn bright, if you never take flight you're always looking back
[Interluse]

[Verse 3]
Gm Eb
Oh - swept away from holidays
Bb F
had to learn to play pretend
Gm Eb
a list to list a list of things
Bb F
I wish that I could send - I toss it out

Gm Eb
The "once upon a time" for you
Bb F Gm Eb
never reached this blighted home - and you'll never know
Bb F F
and you'll never know - oh - oh you'll never know
[Chorus]
Gm Eb Bb F
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam
Gm Eb B F
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes
Gm Eb Bb F
and under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast
Gm Eb B F
if you never burn bright, if you never take flight you're always looking back
[Bridge]
Ab Eb Bb
Momma said goodnight, tried her best to keep you warm
Ab
the cold outside it broke her down,
Eb Bb
the fire gone, papa left so long ago
Ab
and it's been so long, and it's been so long
Eb Bb
wonder who you have to blame
Ab Eb Bb
sitting under this spotlight you find yourself ready for the change
[Verse 4]
Gm Eb
Prison bars inside our home
Bb F
went way too far that night
Gm Eb
was skin on skin for skin my son,
Bb F
and you stood in plain sight
[Chorus]
Gm Eb Bb F
Looking for the spotlights down on the streets I roam
Gm Eb Bb F
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes
Gm Eb Bb F
and under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast
C Eb Bb
if you never burn bright, if you never take flight you're always looking back.
Ab
always looking back
[Outro]
Eb Bb Ab
uh ... under the spotlight

uh ... under the spotlight
Eb Bb Ab
uh ... under the spotlight
Eb Bb Ab
uh ... under the spotlight
