Sweet part of the city.

Back when we were living [C] up on Hannahville
She kept threatening [G] to turn us in
[C]
And now [E] she wants to [G] neglect us
We used to pass [C] around the farmers
Some [G] nights she'd look gorgeous
We were living it
We delivered it
We'd tend the old thing
We were living it
[C]
Sweet part [G] of the city
[C]
Parts with the [G] bars and restaurants
[C]
We used to meet underneath [G] the marquise
We used to night out in the [C] matinees
She always claimed that she was [G] from Tennessee
And now it seems to me
Kissing doesn't equal [C] everything no [G] more
It's like gravity doesn't [C] fly
[G] And everything sparkles
And it [C] feels like [G] we're on wheels
It was dark but I guess [C] that's the [G] deal
St.
Teresa came in [C] once a year
[G]
There was a standard issue
We went out to get [C] some more [G] wine
But it's the wrong way [C] to the corner [G] store
Called the center of the universe
When you can't get your car [C] off the [G] ground
We were living [Em] it
[G] We delivered it
We'd tend the field thing
We were inhabiting
[C]
The sweet part [G] of the city
[C]
Parts with the [G] bars and restaurants
[C]
And so we shut ourselves [G] out in the outer space
It was tough to place the [C] objects
Well it was dark but it [G] was spacious
[C] That's the long way from [G] Cedar Riverside
To Cedar Side
[C]
It's three times St.
Paul [G] to Cheyenne
[C]
It's the long way [G] from Sacramento to
We [C]
were bored so we [G] started a band
We'd like [C] to play [G] for you
We'd [C] like to [G] play for you
We'd [C] like to play for [G] you
We'd [C] like to play [G] for you
We'd like to play for you
