E 
our city isn't perfect  
                            C#m                  E 
our city is a blaze of neon flare does anybody care 
 
E 
fractured lines in the pavement 
                                       C#m 
embers colour the air these streets we named 
     A            E   C# B E 
will never be the same

Verse 2: 
 
E 
people fall into silence 
                                C#m 
the wind she whistles a song of hopelessness 
                     E 
that carries like a hymn 
E 
our city is a burden 
                                            C#m 
the waste land under our feet we've come to know 
     A         E    C# B E 
will never be enough 
 
 
 
 
A                                         
this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,  
E 
this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,  
A                                         E     
this fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn 
 
C#m                    A

Bridge:
 
 
F#              C#m 
if all we do is blame  
                    F#                             E 
and no one cares to listen there?s nothing left to say 
 
F#                  C#m 
But if we stake our claim 
                     A                              E   C# B E 
let action speak the loudest we'll dance beyond the flames
