Dm Am C F Dm Am C F
[Verse 1]
Dm Am
I don't know what it is about this city
C F
Every road I walk down I discover
Dm Am
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
C
I never had in me
F
I guess you knew it all along
Dm Am
That somewhere down the darkest alley is a heartbeat
C
Is a heartbeat
F
You remind me
Dm Am
And I swear that I am walking through a daydream
C
Hear your heartbeat
F
That's where you're gonna find me
[Verse 2]
Dm Am C
Every shape and transatlantic color wrap around me
F Dm Am C F
I've discovered that I just want to get as far as I can run to From the sun in California
Dm Am
I don't know how the west is ever gonna win me
C F
Once I'm breathing in the water
Dm Am
I'm gonna drown out every sentimental memory
C F
Find the courage to start over
[Chorus]
Am G C F
Oh, I know there's got to be a reason
Am G C F
'Cause I'm always running from my life
Am G C F
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
Dm F
But I don't know what it is about this city
[Verse 3]
Dm Am
Miles away someone I know is sleeping
C F
In a bedroom, by the window
Dm Am
I guess I've always been afraid that I would miss out
C F
And get blown out like a candle
Dm Am
And I don't know what it is about this city
C F
Every road I walk down I discover
Dm Am
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
C
I never had in me
F
And it's raining here in London
[Chorus]
Am G C F
Oh, I know there's got to be a reason
Am G C F
'Cause I'm always running from my life
Am G C F
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
Dm F
But I don't know what it is about this city
