_ _ _ [D] _ [C] _
_ [D] _ [E] Oh, [Em] oh, [D] oh, oh, _ [Em] oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, [C] oh, _ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] oh, [C] oh, oh.
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ _ [A] [Em] This city [D] never [C] sleeps.
_ [Em] I hear the people walk by [D] when it's [Cm] late.
[E] And sirens bleed [Em] through my [D] windowsill, I can't [C] close my [E] eyes,
Don't control [D] what I'm into.
[C] _ _ [Em] _ And [D] this tower is a [C] lie, _ [Em] _ The lights that blind [D] keep me [C] awake,
_ [D] [Em] I'm hooked up, I'm lace [D]-untied, Sleep [C] fills my [D] mind,
[Em] Don't control [D] what I'm [C] into.
_ _ _ _ [G] London calls me [Em] stranger, A [G] traveler, _
Oh, [C] _ this [D] is now my [G] home, My home. _
[F#] _ _ [Em] Oh, _ [D] _ _
I'm running [G] on the [F#m] backstreet, [Em] Oh, [D] _ stuck here, standing [Am] in the backseat,
[Em] Oh, [D] and I'm blazing on [G] the street, [E] And what I do isn't up to [D] you,
And if the city [Em] never sleeps, then that makes two.
And the [D] pavement is my [C] friend, _ [Am] _ [Em] It'll take me where [D] I need to go,
[C] _ _ [D] [Em] I find it trips me [D] up, And [C] puts me [Em] down,
Oh, this is [D] not what I'm used [C] to,
[A] _ [Em] _ And the shop [D] across the road, [C] _ [Em] _ Fulfills my [D] needs and gives me [Em] company when I need it,
Voices bleed through my [D] walls, I don't think I'm [C] gonna [Am] make it [Em] past [D] tomorrow. _
_ [C] _ _ _ And [G] London calls me [Em] stranger, A [G] traveler, _
_ _ [C] Oh, this [G] is now my home, My home. _
[F#] _ _ [D] _ [Em] Oh, _ [D] _
I'm running [G] on the [F#m] backstreet, Oh, [D] _ stuck here, standing [Am] in the backseat,
[Em] Oh, [D] and I'm [C] blazing on the street, And what I [Em] do isn't up [D] to you,
And if the city [A] never sleeps, [D] then that makes [C] two.
And my lungs [D] hurt, And my ears [G] bled,
With the sound of [C] the city [G] life echoed in my [C] head,
Do I need [G] this, To keep me alive?
The traffic stops and starts, But I need to move along.
_ _ _ [Em] I'm from a city where the rain [G] won't cease, Pollution and the air [C] matches that on the street,
The black smoke gets your head into a muddle, Like walking into elephant syringes in a puddle,
Like I was a country boy when I moved out, Grew up too fast for my [G] family to find out,
Now I try to stop my music running into [D] nosedives, Can't resolve the [Em] arrogance with white lines.
This city won't erase me, [D] But I can't help to [C] see this how this dark city [Em] changed me,
It's all the [D] same, see, music is my life, But now I try to fight [C] whatever I need [Em] to hide from,
North, south, east, west, [D] London's my home now, [C] Knees weak, but we never [Em] slow down,
Now I start to do my music [G] properly, And stay away from all the negative shit that will follow [C] me,
And London [G] calls me a stranger, [Em] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
And this is [D] not _ [Em] my home,
_ _ My home, _ oh, _ [D] I'm burning on the back street, Oh, _ stuck here, sinning in the back seat,
[Em] Oh, [A]
and [B] I'm blazing on the street, [C] What I [G#] do isn't up to you,
And if the city never sleeps, then that [Em] makes two,
Oh, [D] _ _ I'm burning on [C] the back [A] street, Oh, [D] _ stuck here, sinning [Am] in the back [A] seat,
[E] Oh, [D] and I'm blazing on the street, [E] What I do isn't up to [D] you,
And if [E] the city never sleeps, then that [D#] makes [G] two. _
