[F#] [D]
[Em] And this city [D] never [C] sleeps
[Em]
I hear the people walk by and [D] it's [C] late
[Em]
Sirens bleed through my window [D] sill
[C] I can't close [Em] my eyes
I don't control [D] what [C] I'm into
[Em]
And this tower [D] is a lie
[Em]
The lights that blind me mean [D] away
[Em]
I'ma hood up and make some [D] time
Sleep fills [Em] my mind
Don't control [D] what I'm into
[C] Loneliness [D] pulls me, stranger, [Em] [G] traveler
Oh, [C] this [D] is now my [G] home, my home
[Em] Oh, [Bm] [C] I'm [E] living on a black [Em] street
Oh, [Bm] stuff is in the backseat
[Em] Oh, [B] and I'm blazing [E] on the street
What I [B] do isn't up to you
And if the [G] city never sleeps then [E] that makes two
[G] [D]
[Em] The pavement [D] is my friend
[Em] And it'll take me where I [D] need to go
[Em] As I find it trips me [D] up
[G] And puts me [Em] down
Oh, this is not [D] what I'm used to
[Em]
The shovel [D] across the road
[Em] Fills my needs and [D] keeps me company when I [Em] need it
Voices bleed through my [D] walls
And I don't think I'm gonna [Em] make it past tomorrow
[D] [C]
London [D] pulls me, stranger, [Em] [G] traveler
Oh, [C] this [D] is now my
[G] home, my home
[Em] Oh, [Bm] [G] I'm living on a black [Em] street
[Bm] Oh, [B] stuff is [E] in the [Em] backseat
Oh, [Bm] [B] and I'm blazing on [D] the street
What I [B] do isn't up to [Em] you
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
And my lungs [G] hurt and my ears [A] blare
With the sound of [C] city light [G] echoed in my [Em] head
Do [G] I need this to keep me [A] alive?
The traffic [Bm] stops and starts, but [D] I seem [Am] to move along
[Gm] [C] London [D] pulls me, [Em] stranger,
[G] [C] this [D] is not my [G] home
Oh, [Em] [Bm]
[C] [D] I'm living on a black [Em] street
[Bm] Oh, [B] stuff is in the [Em] backseat
[Bm] Oh, [B] and I'm blazing on the [Em] street
What I [Bm] do isn't up to [Em] you
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
Oh,
[B] I'm living on a black [Em] street
Oh, [Bm]
stuff [G] is in the [Em] backseat
[Bm] Oh, [B] and I'm blazing on the [Em] street
What I [Bm] do isn't up to
