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

You can sing till you drop

Causes the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight

I love this city always

It bares its teeth like a light

C D

And spits me out after days

A

But we're all gluttons for it

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

Take back the city for yourself tonight

I'll take back the city for me

A7sus4 A6sus4 Asus2
