Ed Sheeran - The City: chords

Em                Bm C
This city never sleeps
Em                                   Bm C
I hear the people walk by when it's late
Em                                 Bm          C
Sirens bleed through my window sill, I can't close my eyes
Em                     Bm   C
Don't control what I'm into

This tower is alive
The lights that blind keep me awake
With my hood up and lace untied, sleep fills my mind
Don't control what I'm into

C       D                 Em         G
London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C        D          G
This is now my home, my home

Chorus:
Em  Bm C                    G      D/F#
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
And what I do isn't up to you,
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two

The pavement is my friend
It will take me where I need to go
I find it trips me up
And puts me down
This is not what I'm used to

The shop across the road
Fulfills my needs and gives me company
When I need it
Voices speak through my walls
I don't think I'm gonna make it
Past tomorrow

London calls me a stranger, a traveller
This is now my home, my home (Woo!)

Chorus

Em                G
And my lungs hurt, And my ears bled,
Am                              C
With the sound of the city life, echoed in my head
Em             G
Do I need this, to keep me alive
      C                             D
The traffic stops and starts but I need to move along

London calls me a stranger
This is not my home, home
