[Intro 1]
[Em][G][D][G][A]
[G][D][G][A]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
The city was [G]too late for us
[A]I got there and you[G] wanted
to get [D]away
The city was too [G]grey for us
[A]We slept through the blue ski[G]es
under clouds [D]of the duvet
And the streets were all
to [G]straight for us
[Asus4]A parade of nobility seen[G]
from [D]above
But the city is to [G]blame for [Asus4]us and what was[G]

[Interlude 1]
our love
[Bm][G][Esus4][Bm][G][Esus4]
[D]

[Verse 2]
The city makes you [G]make
a [Asus4]fuss
It's places to [G]meet up
under the [D]light
The city's got its [G]stake in us
[Asus4]It's keeping receipts [G]of our
hello's and our [D]hi's
And everything is [G]made of [Asus4]dust
[A]From the backs of the[G] comets
to the little street [D]mice
The city takes so [G]long to get quiet an[Asus4]d lust
[D]was[A]n't[G] sleeping that night

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Befo[G]re we knew[Esus4] it we knew
it was [Bm]right[G][Esus4]
[Bm]Befo[G]re we blew it I [Esus4]didn't
know that [Bm]we m[G]ight[Esus4]
[Bm]And now it's[G] somebody's stor[Esus4]y and
I'm not [Bm]sorry [G]that [Bm]it's [Esus4]mine
[Bm]Befo[G]re we knew[Esus4] it we
were [G]out of time

[Verse 4]
[D]
The city says 'oh if [G]I c[D]ould'
But the rain-soaked battered battered
[G]view mak[D]es you not sure
Am I walking in [G]your neighbourhood?
[Asus4]I was just driving by the raine[A]d-out
[G]streets streets where we onc[D]e were
And even though it's [G]way too late
[Asus4]Time seems to have stopped[G]
still where we stood
[D]You ran back in and you're some
[G]where in the city
You're some[Asus4]where in the city
[A]and [G]I hope you're good
[D]
