Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love this city
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love it, love it
[Verse 1]
FGmBb
Too sick for breakfast, the car wouldn't start
AmDm7CF
The train was really full, and his girlfriend had a boyfriend
GmBb
The houses all the same, now here's the rain
AmDm7C
Not falling but collapsing at his feet
FGmBb
Deep breath and he clocks on, raincoat on his arm
AmF
He wishes the hours would disappear
AbG
But the trip's in vain 'cause awaiting him
EmAm
A lay-off notice and his severance pay
EmAmDm7F
He shuffles back to the train again
Am
You gotta love this city
[Chorus 1]
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love this city
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love it, love it
[Verse 2]
FGm
Back home he lies in bed for days and days
BbAm
Watching American television, smoking
Dm7C
And playing with himself ringing double-O double-5
FGm
Into town on Thursday night
Bb
The girls are pretty and the lights are bright
F
At least he loves his city
AbGEmAm
Holding court on Taylor Square proper was the man he could become
EmAm
Lear's Fool is a bum now
Dm7FAm
With seven holy parcels by his side
[Chorus 1]
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love this city
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love it, love it
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love this city
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love it, love it

[Verse 3]
GmBb
He walks along the foreshore, he's got a bottle
AmF
And he's breathing with his city
AbG
It was busy everywhere he went
EmAm
There was a crowd over the bay
EmAm
And a fireworks display
Dm7FAm
It's all very strange for a Thursday night thought he
Dm7F
Then it dawns on him as a cracker explodes
Am
And who the hell is he going to blame?
Dm7FAm
It dawns on him - the horror - we got the Olympic Games
[Bridge]
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city
Dm7FAm
For its body and not its brain
Dm7FAm
And he screams "My city is a whore, opened herself to the world
Dm7F
Jumped up and down in pastel shirts
Am
And lathered up thinking about designs for T-shirts"
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city
Dm7FAm
For its body and not its brain
[Chorus 2]
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love this city
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city for its body and not its brain
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city, love this city, you gotta love this city
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city for its body and not its brain
[Otro]
Dm7FAm
It's more than he can take, and the stars' reflection breaks
Dm7FAm
'Cause you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it enjoy the view
Dm7FAm
You gotta love this city
Dm7FmAm
He's had enough and he sinks to the bottom
