Em D C

Em D C This city never sleeps
Em D C I hear the people walk by when it's late
Em D CSirens bleed through my window sill, I can't close my eyes
Em D CDon't control what I'm into
Em D CThis tower is alive
Em D CThe lights that blind keep me awake
Em D CWith my hood up and lace untied, sleep fills my mind
Em D CDon't control what I'm into
C* D* Em* G London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C* D* G This is now my home, my home
Em D COh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Em D COh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Em D COh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
C*And what I do isn't up to you,
D*And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
Em D CThe pavement is my friend
Em D C It will take me where I need to go
Em D CI find it trips me up, and puts me down
Em D CThis is not what IÂ’m used to
Em D C The shop across the road
Em D C Fulfills my needs and gives me company, when I need it
Em D CVoices speak through my walls, I donÂ’t think IÂ’m gonna make it
Em D CPast tomorrow
C* D* Em* G London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C* D* G This is now my home, my home
Em D COh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Em D COh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Em D COh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
C*And what I do isn't up to you,
D*And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
C* D* And my lungs hurt, And my ears bled,
Em* G With the sound of the city life, echoed in my head
C* D* Do I need this, to keep me alive
GThe traffic stops and starts but I need to move along
EmIÂ’m from a city where the rain wonÂ’t cease
D CPollution in the air matches that on the street
EmThe black smoke gets you head into a muddle, like
D CWalking into elephant syringes in the puddle, like
Em I was a country boy when I moved out
D CGrew up too fast for my family to find out
EmNow I try to stop my music running into nosedives
D CCanÂ’t resort to arrogance with white lies
Em This city wonÂ’t erase me
D CBut I canÂ’t help to see how this dark city changed me
EmItÂ’s all the same scene, music is my life
D CBut I try to fight whatever I need to hide from
Em North, South, East, West,
D CLondonÂ’s my home now, knees weak, but we never slow down
EmNow I start to do my music properly
D CAnd stay from all the negative shit that will follow me
C* D* Em* G London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C* D* G This is now my home, my home
Em D COh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Em D COh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Em D COh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
C*And what I do isn't up to you,
D*And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
Em D COh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Em D COh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Em D COh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
C*And what I do isn't up to you,
D* EmAnd if the city never sleeps then that makes two
