The City

E                A
  The city was too late for us
B                  A
  I got there and you wanted to get 
away
E                A
  The city was too grey for us
B                        A       
  We slept through the blue skies
                       E
 under clouds and the duvet
                          A
And the streets are all too straight
 for us
B                A               
  A parade of nobility seen from 
E
above
                 A
The city is to blame for us
B            A      C#m  G#m  
  And what was our love...
F#m  F#m

        C#m  G#m  F#m  F#m
What was...

[Verse 2]
E                    A
  The city makes you make a fuss

B                    A
  There's places to meet up under 
the light
E                   A
  The city's got its stake in us
B                 A         
  It's keeping receipts of our 
               E
hello's and our hi's
                  A
And everything is made of dust
B                        A       
  From the backs of the comets to
               E
 the little street mice
                  A
The city takes so long to get quiet
   B       A
And lust... wasn't sleeping that 
night

  Before we knew it, we knew it
      C#m  G#m  F#m  F#m
 was right
C#m  G#m     F#m             
  Before we blew it I didn't 
F#m         C#m G#m  F#m  F#m
know that we might
C#m            G#m          F#m
  And now it's somebody's story
    F#m      C#m   G#m       F#m 
And I'm not sorry that it's mine
 F#m

C#m  G#m    F#m     F#m     A
  Before we knew it we were out of 
time

[Verse 3]
E                         A
  And the city says, "Oh, if I 
could..."
B                      A         
  But the rain-soaked battered 
                 E
view makes you not sure
                     A
Am I walking in your neighbourhood?
B                         
  I was just driving by the 
   A                           E
rained-out streets where we once 
were
                     A
And even though it's way too late
B                A
  Time seems to have stopped still 
where we stood
E                          
  You ran back in and you're 
  A
somewhere in the city
        B                        A
You're somewhere in the city and I
                   E
 hope you're good
