The City Has Sex

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[D]The [G]city has sex with it[C]self, I suppose
As [D]the concrete collides,
the [G]scenery [D]grows
And [G]the lonely once bandaged
lay [C]fully exposed
Having [D]undressed their wounds
for each other

[Verse 2]
And there is a [G]boy in a basement
with a [C]four track machine
He's [D]been strumming and screaming all [G]night,
down there
The tape hiss will cover
[C]the words that he sings
But then they say it's [D]better
to bury your sadness
[Dm]In a[D]

[Verse 3]
[C]graveyard or garden
that [G]waits for the spring
To [Am]awake from its [C]sleep
and burst in[D]to green
And I've [G]cried and you would
[Em]think I would better for it
But the sadness just [D]sleeps
and it stays in your [C]spine

[Verse 4]
For the rest of [C]your [G]life
And I've learned and you'd [C]think
[Em]I'd be something more now
But it just goes [D]to show it is
[Em]not [D]what you k[C]now
It's what you were [G]thinking
at the time.
[Am][Em][F]

[Verse 5]
This [G]feeling's familiar,
I've [C]been here before
In a [D]kitchen this quiet I [G]waited for
a sign or just something
That [C]might reassure me of [D]anything
[Dm]close to [C]meaning or motion
(With a [G]reason to move)

[Verse 6]
I [Am]need [A]something [Am]I
[C]want to be [D]close to
And [G]I scream,
but I still [Em]don't know why I do it
[C]Because the sou[Em]nd nev[C]er sta[D]ys,
it just swells and [C]de cays
So what is [Dm]the p[G]oint?[D]

[Verse 7]
Why [G]try to [Em]fight what is now
so certain?
The truth [C]is all [D]that I am is a passing
[C]event that will be [G]forgotten
