A break in the [Cm] clouds is a break in my day
[G] [C] Face the sun of my salvation
Is that the way Jones would have made it his own way?
Fly by the wings of your creation
[F] On the top of [C] your head there is a [G] poem
The thought in [Am] my head, oh God [F] only knows
As [C] everything else will [G]
disappoint [D] you
[F] I used [C] to be young and [G] bold
But now [Am] I'm afraid I'm getting [F] so old
I follow [C] delight to the city [G] of roses
[D] [C]

[G] [D]
[G] [C]
It's a little [F] known [D] fact that [C] I can't cope
[G] [C] I'm the champion [G] of [C] repression
I've had [Dm] enough with the East Coast
[D] I'll die by the wings of [F] my [C] ambition
[F] The [C] city I love, the [G] city of throes
[Am] The one that I love, the [F] city of hell
As [C] everything else will [G] disappoint [D] you
[F] I used [C] to be young [G] and bold
[Am] But now I'm afraid I'm getting [F] so old
I [C] follow delight to the [G] city of [D] roses
[C] A break in the clouds is a break in my day
