City Of Lights

INTRO:

G   G   C   C
Ohhhhhhh

G   G   C   C
Ohhhhhhh



    G
I arrived in the city of lights
          G
Enchanted ballrooms where I lost my life
               C
I've closed my eyes
                    G
On your fairground smile
        G
Seedy heroes and silver tills
         G
Sinking suns on a sea of thrills
            C
I place my bets
                          G
Trading with stranger in silhouette



           Am
There's a sadness
           Em
There's a joy
           C
There's a place
           G                    D7
There's a song that will never die
  G
Forever



VERSE TWO (same chords as before)

I drink your health, son of the earth
Passing ships in the modern death
We're all still fired
Old emotions still burn inside
On solid ground, round the mother tongue
A tower of hope, a joyful sound
You take your time
A hand of aces in a pack of lies



           Am
There's a sadness
           Em
There's a joy
           C
There's a place
           G                    D7
There's a song that will never die
          Am
Another night
         Em
In this town
          C
Holds me close
           G                     D7
Holds me close to the searchlight
  G
Forever


G   G   C   C
Ohhhhhhh

(Repeat)


VERSE THDE
I found my song and I started to sing
Took me away on an olden wing
So far from home
Standing so lonely but not alone
In this empire of ache and rhyme
Lovers and best friends are running blind
I grasp your hand
Is this the only world I understand

(Chorus)


Outro:
  G          Em
Forever and ever
     C         D
And ever, and ever and ever.
