[A]
[E]
[Em] This city never [A] sleeps [Em] I hear the people walk by when it's late
[A]
[Em] Sirens sneak through my window sill I [A] can't close my eyes
[Em] Don't control [Dm] what I'm into [Em] And [Bm] this tower is [A] alive
[Em] The [Bm] lights that blind keep me [A] [Em] awake Good often [Bm] they sometimes
[A] Sleep [Em] fills my mind Can't [Bm] control [A] what I'm into
[C] London [D] calls me a stranger [Em] A [G] traveller
[C] This [D] is now my home, [G] my home
I'm [Em] [Bm] [F#] [D] burning on the back [Em] street [Bm] Stuck here [D] sitting in the back [Em] seat
[Bm] I'm blazing [D] on the street [E] What I [B] do isn't up to [C] you
But the city never sleeps and that makes [E] two
The [A]
[Em] [Bm] pavement [G] is my friend [E]
It will [Bm] take me where I need to [C] go
[Em]
I find [Bm] it trips me up [G] [E] and puts me down This [Bm] is not what I'm used [Em] to
[Bm] And the shop across [G] the road [E]
[Em] [Bm] Fills my needs and gives me company
[Em] When I need it Voices [Bm] read through my [G] walls
I don't [E] think I'm gonna make [Em] it past [Bm] tomorrow
[C]
London [D] calls me a stranger [Em] A [G] traveller
[C] This is now [D] my home, [G] my home
[Em] [Bm] I'm [D] burning on the back [Em] street [Bm] Stuck here sitting in the back seat
[Em] [Bm] I'm blazing [E] on the street What I [B] do isn't up to [C] you
But the city never [E] sleeps and that makes [Em] two
And my lungs [G] hurt And my ears bled
[A] With the sound of the [C] city light And [D] cold in my [Em] head
Do I need [G] this To keep me alive
[C] Traffic, slopes and studs But [Em] I need to move along
[C]
[G] London [D] calls me a [Em] stranger This [C]
[D] is now my [G] home, my home
[Em] [Bm]
I'm [D] burning on the back [Em] street [Bm]
Stuck here [D] sitting in the back [Em] seat
[Bm]
[C] I'm blazing on the street [B] What I do isn't up to [C] you
But the city never sleeps and that makes two
