The City Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

AWe are the citDy

 Where the lAights come on and they nDever go out

 And the stAreets are filled with the childrDen's shouts

 I Awant to hear you sDing that song for mEe

 I Awant to capture oDne at a time

 All the lAittle brown flecks that made my eDyes go blinEd

 All the wAide eyed splendor that I put in a framDe

 I want to Atear it down and let it throw perDspective insaEne

 There's a lAight up in a box at the toDp of a post

 Giving diArection to the shadows that could uDse it the mosEt

ATurn aside pilgrim at the soDund of her voice!

 It's wiGsdom herself that ofAfers the choice

CHORUS

F♯Oh,D come to the citF♯y

DWe're taking over the worF♯ld

Verse 2 same chords

We are the city

With the lights strung out on the evergreen trees

And the yard lit up so the neighbors can see

Come on and capture what you think you couldn't keep

Turn on the light switch and everything's bright

It doesn't even take a moment to erase the night

How would it be if I knew this was true

If I opened my eyes and tried to help you

What good is salt if it stops being salty?

I tried to run but my cover was blown

What good is a map if it gives no direction?

And what good is home if it isn't your home?

Chorus 2 the same

Oh, come to the city

We're taking over the world

Bridge

 My momma saiAd 'Son, you're a little man

'Listen to me and understand

 'SAoon we're gonna take that car

'And drive away where ever we are'

All palm muted

 LAet's go

We'll catch a ride to the city

 LeAt's go

where the streets are wide

 LeAt's go

We'll catch a ride to the city

 LeAt's go

Then Solo where it's all A and D, and then Chorus Again. This sound WAY better

with power chords so use those. Have fun playing it.
