Intro

Verse

A Coming through a cloud you're looking D at me from above

And I'm a revelation spreading out A before your eyes

And you find me beautiful and D irresistible

A giant creature that forever seems to A grow in size

E And you feel a strange attraction oohh D oohh

The air is vibrant and A electrified

E Welcome to me here I am, my arms are open A wide

Verse

Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise

There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats

And a million voices blend into a single voice

And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets

People come and take their chances

Sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot

Come make your own contribution to this melting pot

Chorus

A I'm the street you walk E/A

The language you talk D/A

I am the city

A skyline is E/A is me and the D/A energy

I am the city

A The famous A/G# hotels and the cocktail bars G

And the funny smells F#m

And the turmoil, the cars A the people D

The F#m air E that you’re C#m breathing is D me

Yes I am the city Dm you let me be A

Verse

People feed me with their lives I am a hungry soul

And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night

Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet

But come the night they will be dancing in the neon light

Dazzled by the crazy magic

They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf

And in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh

Chorus
