The City Chords & Lyrics - Sarah Harmer

[Introduction]
[E] [A] [B] [A] (x2)

[VERSE 1]
[E] The city was to[A]o late for us
[B] I got there and y[A]ou wanted to get away
[E] The city was to[A]o grey for us
[B] We slept through the bl[A]ue skies under clouds and the d[E]uvet
And the streets are all to[A]o straight for us
[B] A parade of nob[A]ility seen from [E]above
The city is to bl[A]ame for us
[B] And what wa[A]s our l[C#m]ove..[G#m] . [F#m] [F#m]
What was[C#m] ... [G#m] [F#m] [F#m]

[VERSE 2]
[E] The city makes you [A]make a fuss
[B] There's places to m[A]eet up under the light
[E] The city's got its[A] stake in us
[B] It's keeping rec[A]eipts of our hello's and [E]our hi's
And everything is [A]made of dust
[B] From the backs of the c[A]omets to the little str[E]eet mice
The city takes so [A]long to get quiet
And[B] lust...[A] wasn't sleeping that night

[BRIDGE]
[C#m] Bef[G#m]ore we k[F#m]new it, we [F#m]knew it was r[C#m]ight [G#m] [F#m] [F#m]
[C#m] Bef[G#m]ore we b[F#m]lew it I didn't [F#m]know that we[C#m] mig[G#m]ht [F#m] [F#m]
[C#m] And now it's [G#m]somebody's st[F#m]ory
And [F#m]I'm not s[C#m]orry t[G#m]hat it's m[F#m]ine [F#m]
[C#m] Bef[G#m]ore we [F#m]knew it [F#m]we were [A]out of time

[VERSE 3]
[E] And the city says, "Oh, [A]if I could..."
[B] But the rain-soaked b[A]attered view makes you not [E]sure
Am I walking in your [A]neighbourhood?
[B] I was just driving by the r[A]ained-out streets where we o[E]nce were
And even though it's [A]way too late
[B] Time seems to h[A]ave stopped still where we stood
[E] You ran back in and you're [A]somewhere in the city
You're s[B]omewhere in the city and [A]I hope you're good [E]
