The City Chords & Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

[Em] [D] [C]

[Em] This city neve[D]r slee[C]ps

[Em] I hear the people walk by when it's[D] late [C]

[Em]Sirens bleed through my window sill, I [D]can't [C]close my eyes

[Em]Don't control what I'm in[D]to [C]

[Em]This tower is al[D]ive [C]

[Em]The lights that blind keep me aw[D]ake [C]

[Em]With my hood up and lace untied,[D] sleep[C] fills my mind

[Em]Don't control what I'm in[D]to [C]

[C]* [D]* [Em]* [G]
London calls me a stranger, a traveller

[C]* [D]* [G]
This is now my home, my home

[Em]Oh, oh,[D] I'm burning [C]on the back streets

[Em]Oh, oh, st[D]uck he[C]re sitting in the back seat,

[Em]Oh, oh, and I'm [D]blazing on[C] the street

[C]*
And what I do isn't up to you,

[D]*
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two

[Em]The pavement is my[D] frien[C]d

[Em] It will take me where I need to [D]go [C]

[Em]I find it trips me up,[D] and p[C]uts me down

[Em]This is not what I’m[D] used [C]to

[Em] The shop across the[D] road [C]

[Em] Fulfills my needs and gives me c[D]ompany[C] , when I need it

[Em]Voices speak through my walls,[D] I don’t thi[C]nk I’m gonna make it

[Em]Past tomorr[D]ow [C]

[C]* [D]* [Em]* [G]
London calls me a stranger, a traveller

[C]* [D]* [G]
This is now my home, my home

[Em]Oh, oh,[D] I'm burning [C]on the back streets

[Em] [D] Ch
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,

[Em]Oh, oh, and I'm [D]blazing on[C] the street

[C]*
And what I do isn't up to you,

[D]*
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two

[C]* [D]*
And my lungs hurt, And my ears bled,

[Em]* [G]
With the sound of the city life, echoed in my head

[C]* [D]*
Do I need this, to keep me alive

[G]The traffic stops and starts but I need to move along

[Em]I’m from a city where the rain won’t cease

Po[D]llution in the air matches [C]that on the street

The b[Em]lack smoke gets you head into a muddle, like

[D]Walking into ele[C]phant syringes in the puddle, like

[Em] I was a country boy when I moved out

[D]Grew up too fast for m[C]y family to find out

[Em]Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives

[D]Can’t resort to arrogance wit[C]h white lies

[Em] This city won’t erase me

But [D]I can’t help to see how thi[C]s dark city changed me

[Em]It’s all the same scene, music is my life

But[D] I try to fight what[C]ever I need to hide from

[Em] North, South, East, West,

London’s m[D]y home now, knees weak[C] , but we never slow down

[Em]Now I start to do my music properly

And [D]stay from all the nega[C]tive shit that will follow me

[C]* [D]* [Em]* [G]
London calls me a stranger, a traveller

[C]* [D]* [G]
This is now my home, my home

[Em]Oh, oh,[D] I'm burning [C]on the back streets

[Em]Oh, oh, st[D]uck he[C]re sitting in the back seat,

[Em]Oh, oh, and I'm [D]blazing on[C] the street

[Em]Oh, oh,[D] I'm burning [C]on the back streets

[Em]Oh, oh, st[D]uck he[C]re sitting in the back seat,
