C Am Dm F G
[Verse 1]
Cm Ab
Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
Bb Eb Bb/D
roaming suburban boys
Cm Ab
Mother's got her hairdo to be done
Bb G
She says they're too old for toys
Cm Ab
Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
Bb Eb Bb/D
in this suburban hell
Cm Ab
and in the distance a police car
Bb G
to break the suburban spell
[Chorus]
C Am
Let's take a ride
Dm F G C
and run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
Am
You can't hide
Dm F G Cm
Run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
[Verse 2]
Cm Ab
Break the window by the town hall
Bb Eb Bb/D
Listen! A siren screams
Cm Ab
there in the distance like a roll call
Bb G
of all the suburban dreams
[Chorus]
C Am
Let's take a ride
Dm F G C
and run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
Am
You can't hide
Dm F G Cm
run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
[Bridge]
Cm Ab
Cm Ab
Cm Ab
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
Cm Ab
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
Cm Ab
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
Cm Ab
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
Cm
C Am Dm F G
C Am Dm F G
[Verse 3]
Cm Ab
It's on the front page of the papers
Bb Eb Bb/D
This is their hour of need
Cm Ab
Where's a policeman when you need one
Bb N.C.
to blame the colour TV?
[Chorus]
C Am
Let's take a ride
Dm F G C
and run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
Am
You can't hide
Dm F G C
run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
Am
Take a ride
Dm F G C
and run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
Am
You can't hide
Dm F G C Am
run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
Dm F G C
run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
Am Dm
You can't hide

in suburbia
F G C Am Dm
In suburbia
F G N.C.
In suburbia
N.C.
In suburbia
N.C.
In suburbia
