[Intro]
Em G C Em G C
[Verse 1]
Em G C
In a forest filled with trees
Em G Em
Craving oxygen to breathe
G C
It's a dream or it's a test
Em C
You've got me reeling breathless
Em C
We've been apart for much too long
Em G C
Does it matter if we're strong?
Em G
With all the phones and screens, lately we aren't sold
Em G C
Sometimes you just need someone to hold
[Chorus]
Em D C
What would this city be without you on my mind?
Em D C
Still the one I try to find
Em D C
In the crowded streets, when the bells ring
Em D C Em C Em C
I know I'm better by your side
[Verse 2]
Em G C
You are the answer to a prayer
Em G C
An icy breeze in desert air
Em D C
Fire when winter wind chills the bone
Em G C G
Lately I can't leave you alone
[Chorus]
Em D C
What would this city be without you on my mind?
Em D C
Still the one I try to find
Em D C
In the crowded streets, when the bells ring
Em D C
I know I'm better by your side
[Bridge]
Em D C Em D C
All the music in the air, reminding me that you're not here
Em D C Em G C Em C Em
Like a bird locked in a tower, awakened every hour
D C Em C Em
When the bells ring
D C
When the bells ring
[Out-Chorus]
Em D C
What would this city be without you on my mind?
Em D C
Still the one I try to find
Em D C
In the crowded streets, when the bells ring
Em D C
I know I'm better by your side
Em D C
I know I'm better by your side
Em G C
I know I'm better by your side
