Intro
G G(F#)
G G(F#) G G(F#)
This is London, the place where you're a god or a disgrace
G G(F#) G G(F#)
The whole wide world at your feet to see the look upon your face
C G C G
And you watch the BBC and you think, "Well, what if that was me?"
C G C C
Such a promising life to waste.
G G(F#) G G(F#)
You told me, "Just be brave. Remember all the gifts you gave.
G G(F#)
And how you felt like you were saved,
G G(F#)
Like you were singing from beyond the grave."
C G C G
And you said you'd wait for me until the day I could sing on key
C G C
"There's just something about your face."
C G D C
Then you'd call, I could feel your body fall down next to me,
G D C G C G
And I wanted us to be fast asleep, closer than anything to me,
C G C C
Like we were home again...
G G(F#) G G(F#)
There was just no way to know what was real and what was show
G G(F#) G G(F#)
A future unfolding before my eyes, and a past that I could not let go
C G
And how the feeling is so deep
C G
when you're running down the London streets
C G C C
Like there's nowhere left to go.
G G(F#) G G(F#)
Among the faceless dizzy whores, the unimaginable bores,
G G(F#) G G(F#)
Evenings stumbling from the pub, mornings shivering on the floor
C G C G
Then the careless way you say, "Yeah, we were just glad we got to play."
C G C
When you're empty to the core.
C G D C
Then you'd call, I could feel your body fall down next to me,
G D C G C G
And I wanted us to be fast asleep, closer than anything to me,
C G C C
Like we were home again.
G
I'm so tired of the rain.
G G(F#) G G(F#)
This is London, the place where you get lost without a trace
G G(F#) G G(F#)
Among the beautiful remains of this shattered human race
C G C G
All the words that go unsaid, all the sacrifices of the dead,
C G C G
"We'll fall quietly into the past or we'll just burn the streets instead"
C G C G
In the clamoring of the crowd, you think, "I'll just stay quiet, instead."
C G D C
All the fallen dizzy angels crawling through the street,
G D C
The pleas of people weary on their feet,
G C G
And you're half a world away from me,
C G C
As the clouds drown the light.
G
I wonder where you are tonight.
