Capo 1


Intro: A5 A64 A5 A5 x2

A5        A64     A5
Take back the city for yourself tonight
A5            A64   A5
I'll take back the city for me
A5       A64       A5
Take back the city for yourself tonight
A5
Whoa whoa

A5          A64         A5
God knows you've put your life into its hands
A5        A64          A5
And it's both cradled you and crushed
A5      A64            A5
But now it's time to make your own demands
A5
Whoa whoa

A5         A64          A5
All these years later and it's killing me
A5      A64      A5
Your broken records and words
A5       A64          A5
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
A5
Whoa whoa

A5    A64           A5
No need to put your words into my mouth
A5       A64     A5
Don't need convincing at all
A5     A64           A5
I love this place enough to have no doubt
A5
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:
A5
 I love this city tonight
C5
 I love this city always
A5
 It bares its teeth like a light
C5
 And spits me out after days
A5
 But we're all gluttons for it
C5
 We know it's wrong and it's right
A5
 For every time it's been hit
C5                          A5
 Take back the city tonight

A5

A5      A64       A5
Tell me you never wanted more than this
A5    A64        A5
And I will stop talking now
A5      A64      A5
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
A5
Whoa whoa

A5       A64       A5
Take back the city for yourself tonight
A5            A64    A5
I'll take back the city for me
A5       A64        A5
Take back the city for yourself tonight
A5
Whoa whoa
