Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

City flower

Raised under street lights

Hothouse rose

Born in the shade

It could not hold you

The empire skyline

Could never keep you

From turning to flame

I was restless

Running from nothing

I built my foundation

On the shifting sands

And I was a pauper

At midnight and morning

Morning glory

You king me where I stand

Chorus

You find me in the shadows

And the shade

Show me how to bloom

I promise I won’t fade

City flower

Wrapped around my heart

Like a daisy chain

No one can tear apart

2nd Verse:

The barroom lights

Are fine and they’re golden

The city bells

Ring soft in the night

But to be in your arms

All twined up and tangled

That’s the only thing

Can make me feel alright

Chorus
