|Em |Em D |Em |Em |
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
This city never sleeps, I hear the people walk by when it's late
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
Sirens bleed through my windowsill, I can't close my eyes
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
Don't control what I'm into
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
And this tower is alive, the lights that blind keep me awake
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
With my hood up and lace untied, and sleep fills my mind
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
Can't control what I'm into
|C |D |Em |G |C |D |G |G |
London calls me a stranger, a traveler, this is now my home, my home
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
I'm burning on the back street
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
And I'm blazing on the street
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
What I do is not up to you, and if the city never sleeps, then that makes two
|Em |Em D |
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
The pavement is my friend, and it will take me where I need to go
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
I find it trips me up, and puts me down, this is not what I'm used to
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
And the shop across the road
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
Fulfills my needs and gives me company, when I need it
|Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |Em |Dadd9 2nCadd9 |
Voices speak through my walls, I don't think I'm gonna make it, past tomorrow
|C |D |Em |G |C |D |G |G |
London calls me a stranger, a traveler, this is now my home, my home
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
I'm burning on the back street
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
And I'm blazing on the street
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
What I do is not up to you, and if the city never sleeps, then that makes two
|Em |G |Am |C |
And my lungs hurt, and my ears bled, with the sound of the city life, echoed in my
|Em |G |C |D |D |
head, do I need this to keep me alive? The traffic stops and starts, but I need to move along
|C |D |Em |G |C |D |G |G |
London calls me a stranger this is not my home, home
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
I'm burning on the back street
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
And I'm blazing on the street
|Em Bm |C - G D/F# |
What I do is not up to you, and if the city never sleeps, then that makes two
