London City

F               F/A     Bb      
Did I tell you 'bout the time 
                               F   
you failed to recognize my heart?
 F/A Bb

F               F/A     Bb      
I couldn't find a way to betray 
                               F   
you in my arms
 F/A Bb

Bb         F            C
You held a beauty but I didn't care
Bb                  F            
For you parked your markings on 
    C
your arm there

F              F/A     Bb       
Did I tell you that inspite of 
                       F    F/A Bb
you I sealed my fate?
F                   F/A   Bb    
And that I held you in my gaze 
                       F    F/A Bb
to finally pace my gain
Bb             F         C
And though it always was away from 
you
Bb          F              C
Oh I can't deny you like I used to 
do

[Chorus]
Dm          Bb              
So cradle me now in your arms, 
          F     C
London city
Dm          Bb               
Listen it's time to forgive and 
         F     C
forget
Dm         Bb                    
It's funny how you defied 
   F       C
something in me
Bb         F                C
But wait a minute, I've not finished
 yet

[Verse 2]
F               F/A     Bb      
Do you remember when you called 
                             F    
me out of Castlereagh Place?
F/A Bb

F               F/A   Bb        
How you swore to me a future 
                             F    
through the troubles I'd face?
F/A Bb

Bb           F              C
That broken promise that we feel and
 tame
Bb           F                C
Oh but now I realize you were not to
 blame

[Chorus]
Dm          Bb              
So cradle me now in your arms, 
          F     C
London city
Dm          Bb               
Surely it's time to forgive and 
         F     C
forget
Dm         Bb               
Yeah It's funny how you defied 
        F       C
something in me
Bb         F                C
But wait a minute, I'm not finished 
yet

[Bridge]
Dm            Bb         
Lost friends, River Thames, 
   F                          C
Caledonian Road, Westminster
Dm                            Bb
St. Paul's Cathedral, and the round 
parts of the Regal
         F                         
And that bumbling buffoon, the 
  C
Prime Minister
        Dm                       
And the East End where there are 
Bb
hard men
           F                    
Where they fight for good reason 
       C
every now and then
          Dm                       
In their nods and their smiles, 
          Bb
they say I'm so rarified
    F                           
I'm shining like a beacon in the 
  C
evening light would

[Pre-Chorus]
   Bb          F                   
It all left me strong-eyed like an 
C
alley cat
    Bb       F               C
But then you fed me and I remember 
that
     Bb             F             
So I guess what I'm saying is 
   C
you're not that bad

[Chorus]
Dm          Bb              
So cradle me now in your arms, 
          F     C
London city
Dm          Bb               
Surely it's time to forgive and 
         F     C
forget
Dm         Bb               
Yeah It's funny how you defied 
        F       C
something in me
Bb         F                C
But wait a minute, I'm not finished 
yet
