The City

• A

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 


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
