The City Has Left You Alone Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Neu[A]rot[G]ic inte[D]llectual
[Em]Emotionally unavailable
You're [D]everything [A]you think
you should [G]be
[D]But the truth is unavoidable
And [Em]every choice intentional
[D]Darling, I don't [A]mean to be [G]mean
But [D]you're see- through
[A]as see- through can [G]be
And [Em]when the party ends,
[G]you're sweating [A]in sheets
The [D]city

[Verse 2]
has [Gm]left you [D]alone
You cycle on fast- for[G]ward through
The [A]strangers in your phone
And you re- [D]record your [F#m]voice [D]mail
[F#m]Find t[F#]hat perfect h[Bbdim]ol
[F#m]low to[Bm]ne:
"Hey, you've [D]reached me,
but what does [G]that mean?
I don't know."
[D]

[Verse 3]
[A][G]
So [D]run your risk and play your part
[Em]Hide away your hardened heart
And [D]tuck yourself back [A]into your [G]shell
But is [D]all that detached irony
That [Em]finely tuned delivery
[D]Hurting more than [A]it's ever
[G]helped?
[D]Are you fooling any[A]one but yourself?
[G]Wel[Em]l, you're the only
[G]one who can tell
[A]

[Verse 4]
Because [D]the city has [Gm]left you [D]alone
In a Chelsea bar at clos[G]ing time
Too [A]wired to go home
When a street [D]shark with
a song[F#m]bird rap
And a [F#]rep [A]er t[F#m]ory br[Bm]ogue
Slurs, c'[D]mon love. There [G]ain't
no secret [Bm]code.[D][E]
Are [D]you thinking what I'm [G]thinkin',
yes or [Bm]no?[D][E]
Leave the [D]mourning for the morn[G]in',
love. Let's [D]go.

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][A][Bm][D][A]

[Verse 5]
You're [G]acting out the [A]dead
end of a [Bm]theme[D][A]
[G]A cliche in a round[A]about
An[Bm]other person's [D]dream[A]
It [G]makes romantic [A]copy but
it's [Bm]not a life to l[D]ead[A][Bm]
[A]So

[Verse 6]
[D]roll your eyes [A]and suck
on [D]your [G]teeth
No, you [D]don't need to
prove [A]nothin' to [G]me
But you're the [Em]only one who
[F#m]knows what [G]you need

[Verse 7]
[A]The cit[D]y has lef[Gm]t you alo[D]ne
Squinting at an [G]address
With a [A]car service on hold
You keep wait[D]ing on redemption,
[F#m]But isn't waiting getting old?
[Bm]You shut y[Em]our eyes
The [G]city clears its [A]throat[A]
"On with [D]the show."
