Young In The City Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][G][C][G][Am][F][G]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]ferried
[G]my [C]dreams [F]across the water
under[G]neath a [C]face[F]less moon
I woke to [G]find [C]myself [F]uncovered
in this [G]dark and [C]dusty [F]room
[G]take [C]me…[F] up the wooden stairs
where the windows are [C]open [G]wide
[F]there [G]we can [C]watch the city [F]skyline
tremble in the heat waves [C]rolling [G]by
and [F]don't [G]the [Am]world [G]look pretty
[F]when [Em]you're [Dm]young in the
[C]city
[Am][F][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]So there I was[G]
[C]Oph[F]elia climbing
through these [G]tangled [C]threads [F]of light
I was [G]caught
[C]ope[F]n and bleeding
but I was [G]willing to [C]stay [F]the night
take [G]me [C]dow[F]n… to
where the buildings
stand empty at [C]our [G]feet
[F]where [G]the[C]… d[F]irty Hudson River
and the sweet blue [C]oceans [G]meet
and [F]don't [G]the [Am]world [G]look pretty
[F]when [Em]you're [Dm]young in the [C]city[Am]
[F]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Am][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[F]Don't you sometimes [G]wonder
why it [C]all goes [F]by so fast
I held you in my [G]fingers
now I [C]hold you in [F]my past…
once I [G]watched [C]you[F]… walk on water
now I [G]watch you walk [C]across [F]the room
I always [G]thought [C]we'd [F]have forever
now [G]these forevers go [C]by [F]too soon
take [G]me [C]dow[F]n… to
the streets below
where the moon and traf[C]fic [G]lights
[F]guide [G]us…[C] wh[F]ile we go dreaming
thru another [C]sleep[G]less night
and [F]don't [G]the [Am]world [G]look pretty
[F]when [Em]you're [Dm]young [F]in the[G][Am][G][F][Em][Dm]
[C]city
