these are the chords on piano, i recommend if you’re playing it on the guitar to replace
the C6/E chord with
an Am chord! :) and make sure to play the A and Am chords as barre chords to match the
octave in the song
[Verse 1]
Am Gm
The city I met was pink
Am Gm C6/E
I tasted the city, ate out in the city
Gm A
But the sky called up to me and it said
Bb/D
"Here, look at me, city"
Am
Oh, what do I want, what do I want?
Gm C6/E F
"I suddenly want the city", I thought
Gm Bb/D
A thousand thoughts for a thousand times
Gm A Bb/D
I've loved in sheets with it on my mind
Am
You opened the doors
Gm C6/E F
The doors onto the veranda
Gm Bb/D
But I ran outside in the mustard air
Gm A Bb/D
With my arms outstretched to feel it
[Verse 2]
Am Gm
I breathed in a city like a fool
Am Gm
But only because it was you
Am
My homing guide
Gm A Bb/D
And you told me I could have what you could not provide
Am
Well, I believed you so
Gm C6/E F Gm F
That we would last forever, we thought, we thought
Gm Bb/D
Well, I told you in the city light
Gm A Bb/D
And your face was warm and your eyes were bright
Am
I wish I'd known
Gm
I was alone
F Gm
In city life
