Take back the city for yourself tonight

Take back the city for yourself tonight

Whoa whoa

A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
God knows you’ve put your life into the Thames
A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
And it’s both cradled you and crushed
A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
But now it’s time to make your own demands
A7sus4
Whoa whoa

A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
All these years later and it’s killing me
A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
Your broken records and words
A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
A7sus4
Whoa whoa

A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
No need to put your words into my mouth
A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
Don’t need convincing at all
A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
I love this place enough to have no doubt
A7sus4
Whoa whoa

A5 G5
It’s a mess, It’s a start
D5 F5
It’s a flowing work of art
A5 G5
Your city, your call
D5 F5
Every crack, every wall
A5 G5
Can’t decide, pick a fight
D5 F5
Get your head if it’s upright
A5 G5
You can sing till you drop
D5 F5
Causes the fun just never stops

Chorus:
A
I love this city tonight
C D
I love this city always
A
It bares its teeth like a light
C D
And spits me out after days
A
But we’re all gluttons for it
C D
We know it’s wrong and it’s right
A
For every time it’s been hit
C A
Take back the city tonight

One perfect partner, one eternal kiss

Whoa whoa

A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
Take back the city for yourself tonight

Take back the city for yourself tonight
