C G Am F (2x) 
 
C         G       Am                  F 
Most of my life, I sat on my hands, I don't make a sound 
C          G        Am                 F 
Getting it right, I made all my plans, lost, never found 
C              G                      Am     F 
Your eyes, your smile can light up the night, night 
C         G                       Am   F 
Embers and neon signs paint up our sky, sky 
 
 
C        G             
Airplanes cut through the clouds 
    Am              F 
Like angels can fly, we'll never die 
C     G 
Sirens cut through the night 
    Am                     F 
Like screams that are fire, rising up high 
        Am                  F 
Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose 
C 
In this city, in this city woah 
 
 
C          G       Am                   F 
All of this time, I questioned myself, I never could wait 
C          G          Am                 F 
Looking for signs, not asking for help, I know it's too late 
C             G                         Am    F 
A love lost and buried here, it comes to life, life 
C          G                        Am      F 
Make believe worlds make us all feel alive, live 
 
 
 
C        G             
Airplanes cut through the clouds 
    Am              F 
Like angels can fly, we'll never die 
C     G 
Sirens cut through the night 
    Am                     F 
Like screams that are fire, rising up high 
        Am                  F 
Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose 
C 
In this city, in this city woah 
 
 
Am                          F 
I never wanna wait for this, harder that I was made for this 
Am     F 
I won't fade into dark 
Am                               F 
I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry, gonna see the end of this story 
Am     F              G 
I won't fade into darkness 
 
C G Am F
 
 
C        G             
Airplanes cut through the clouds 
    Am              F 
Like angels can fly, we'll never die 
C     G 
Sirens cut through the night 
    Am                     F 
Like screams that are fire, rising up high 
        Am                  F 
Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose 
C 
In this city, in this city woah
