city song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The city called me so I [Em]came
[Am]It isn't mine to question what it said[D]
I sleep [B]until the point when I'm [Em]awake
[Am]I walk until there's nothing left to tre[D]k
And [G]everyone is looking
for [D]an answer[Em]
[Am]And everyone is waiting for a brea[D]k
I came [B]and I was bored of [Em]it soon after
But I [Am]had [D]nowhere to go [Am]and so I stayed
[D]I dreamed a[Am] lifetime of this place
[D]It seemed [Am]an awful [D]thing to waste
[G][C][D][G][C][D]
Well the morn[G]ing fills my
mouth up with [Em]de cay
I [Am]like it, it reminds me how
you [D]taste
Sometimes [G]I feel you r[D]ising up
[Em]behind me like the wind
But I [Am]still try to look [D]away
[G]What will [D]you look like when you're old?
[Em](What will you look like
when [Am]you're old?)
What will I do if I don't know [D]you?
(What will I do if I don't [G]know you?)
I guess that I [D]decided not [Em]to
ask the day I took [Am]the road
[D]Down to the city as [Am]it called
[D]Sun mak[Am]ing silhouettes of gauze
I don't [D]remember you [G]at all
[C][D][G][C][D][G]
[C][D]
The [G]city called [D]me and I [Em]came[Am]
It isn't mine to question [D]why
Sometimes [G]the clouds will rise [D]ahead,
[Em]I hear your name
It's like [Am]a choir in the[D] sky
[G]What will [D]you look like when
[Em]you're old?
(What will you look like
when [Am]you're old?)
What will I do if I don't know [D]you?
(What will I do if I [G]don't know you?)
I guess that I decided [Em]not to know
the day I took [Am]the road
Down to the city as it called
[D]Sun making silhou[Am]ettes [D]of gauze
I don't remember you at [G]all[C]
[D][G][C][D][G]
[C][Am]
[D]They pulled a human from [Am]my waist
[D]It had your mouth, it had you[Am]r fac[D]e
I would have kept it if I'd [G]stayed.
