A             D
We are the city
           A                       D
Where the lights come on and they never go out
          A                               D
And the streets are filled with the children's shouts
  A                 D                  E
I want to hear you sing that song for me
  A                D
I want to capture one at a time
         A                                D          E
All the little brown flecks that made my eyes go blind
         A                                     D
All the wide eyed splendor that I put in a frame
          A                                D            E
I want to tear it down and let it throw perspective insane
           A                         D
There's a light up in a box at the top of a post
         A                                  D            E
Giving direction to the shadows that could use it the most
A                           D
Turn aside pilgrim at the sound of her voice!
       G                   A
It's wisdom herself that offers the choice

   CHORUS
F# D               F#
Oh, come to the city
D                        F#    E
We're taking over the world

            A
My momma said 'Son, you're a little man

'Listen to me and understand
  A
'Soon we're gonna take that car

'And drive away where ever we are'

    All palm muted
 A
Let's go
We'll catch a ride to the city
  A
Let's go
where the streets are wide
  A
Let's go
We'll catch a ride to the city
  A
Let's go
