I am The City
INTRO: A E/A D/A D/A A A
VERSE: (A) Coming through a cloud you're looking (D) at me from above
And I'm a revelation spreading out (A) before your eyes
And you find me beautiful and (D) irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to (A) grow in size
(E) And you feel a strange attraction oohh (D) oohh
The air is vibrant and (A) electrified
(E) Welcome to me here I am, my arms are open (A) wide
VERSE: Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
People come and take their chances
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot
Come make your own contribution to this melting pot
CHORUS: (A) I'm the street you walk (E/A)
The language you talk (D/A)
I am the city
(A) skyline is (E/A)is me and the (D/A) energy
I am the city
(A)The famous (A/G#) hotels and the cocktail bars (G)
And the funny smells (F#m)
And the turmoil, the cars (A) the people (D)
The (F#m) air (E) that you’re (C#m) breathing is (D) me
Yes I am the city (Dm) you let me be (A)
VERSE: People feed me with their lives I am a hungry soul
And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night
Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet
But come the night they will be dancing in the neon light
Dazzled by the crazy magic
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf
And in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh
CHORUS
