Capo 1


Intro: A74 A64 A9 A9 x2

A74        A64     A9
Take back the city for yourself tonight
A74            A64   A9
I'll take back the city for me
A74       A64       A9
Take back the city for yourself tonight
A74
Whoa whoa

A74          A64         A9
God knows you've put your life into its hands
A74        A64          A9
And it's both cradled you and crushed
A74      A64            A9
But now it's time to make your own demands
A74
Whoa whoa

A74         A64          A9
All these years later and it's killing me
A74      A64      A9
Your broken records and words
A74       A64          A9
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
A74
Whoa whoa

A74    A64           A9
No need to put your words into my mouth
A74       A64     A9
Don't need convincing at all
A74     A64           A9
I love this place enough to have no doubt
A74
Whoa whoa


Bridge:
           A5              G5
It's a mess, It's a start
            D5             F5 
It's a flawed work of art
       A5             G5
Your city, your call
           D5           F5
Every crack, every wall
            A5            G5
Pick a side, pick a fight
           D5           F5
Get your epitaph  right
            A5             G5
You can sing till you drop
             D5                F5
Causes the fun just never stops

Chorus:
A
 I love this city tonight
C
 I love this city always
A
 It bares its teeth like a light
C
 And spits me out after days
A
 But we're all gluttons for it
C
 We know it's wrong and it's right
A
 For every time it's been hit
C                          A
 Take back the city tonight

A9

A74      A64       A9
Tell me you never wanted more than this
A74    A64        A9
And I will stop talking now
A74      A64      A9
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
A74
Whoa whoa

A74       A64       A9
Take back the city for yourself tonight
A74            A64    A9
I'll take back the city for me
A74       A64        A9
Take back the city for yourself tonight
A74
Whoa whoa
