Dreaming about how [F]it all [Am]began
Bright lights, big city

[Cm]you[G#]
Over [Bb]clandestine sidewalks

Well, and the crosswalk says

[G#]Yet there [Cm]you are[Bb][F]
Trust [Bb]the [Cm]flicker of a picture
[Eb]Between [Cm]the static of [Dm]cars
[Cm][Dm]

[Verse 8]
And it's a re[Bb]lief
That these walls [C]are so [Cm]high
Like arms that [Dm]hold us together
[Gm]Waiting [Dm]for a green light
[F][Am]

[Verse 9]
[Dm]Go, [F]go, [Am]go, s[Dm]top[Am][Dm]
Go, [F]go, [Am]go, [Dm]stop
We embrace in the heart of our city

[Outro 1]
On wet broken sidewalks we're free
[Dm]
