The City

[A]We are the cit[D]y
Where the l[A]ights come on and they n[D]ever go out
And the st[A]reets are filled with the childr[D]en's shouts
I [A]want to hear you s[D]ing that song for m[E]e
I [A]want to capture o[D]ne at a time
All the l[A]ittle brown flecks that made my e[D]yes go blin[E]d
All the w[A]ide eyed splendor that I put in a fram[D]e
I want to [A]tear it down and let it throw per[D]spective insa[E]ne
There's a l[A]ight up in a box at the to[D]p of a post
Giving di[A]rection to the shadows that could u[D]se it the mos[E]t
[A]Turn aside pilgrim at the so[D]und of her voice!
It's wi[G]sdom herself that of[A]fers the choice

   CHORUS
[F#]Oh,[D] come to the cit[F#]y
[D]We're taking over the wor[F#]ld

  Verse 2 same chords
We are the city
With the lights strung out on the evergreen trees
And the yard lit up so the neighbors can see
Come on and capture what you think you couldn't keep

Turn on the light switch and everything's bright
It doesn't even take a moment to erase the night
How would it be if I knew this was true
If I opened my eyes and tried to help you

What good is salt if it stops being salty?
I tried to run but my cover was blown
What good is a map if it gives no direction?
And what good is home if it isn't your home?

  Chorus 2 the same
Oh, come to the city
We're taking over the world

    Bridge
My momma sai[A]d 'Son, you're a little man

'Listen to me and understand
'S[A]oon we're gonna take that car

'And drive away where ever we are'

    All palm muted
L[A]et's go
We'll catch a ride to the city
Le[A]t's go
where the streets are wide
Le[A]t's go
We'll catch a ride to the city
Le[A]t's go

Then Solo where it's all A and D, and then Chorus Again. This sound WAY better
with power chords so use those. Have fun playing it.
