Blackbird Raum - Cities

^Am/AI look down on the ^Am/Abcity It's ^Am/Gburning, It's ^Am/Gbburning ^FEverything's prettier at ^Enight ^Am/AThe flames are all ^Am/Ableaping They're ^Am/Geating the ^Am/Gbbuildings ^FOrion laughs "guerre à outr^Eance" The ^Am/Astars are all t^Am/Abwinkling They're ^Am/Gmirroring the ^Am/Gbdancing Of the ^F/Fflames as they reach towards the ^E/Esky I'm ^Am/Ahoping and I'm ^Am/Abpraying for a ^Am/Gbetter ^Am/Gbtomorrow ^F/FAt least one that isn't so ^E/Ebright

The ^Am/Afire is ^Am/Abgrowing, en^Am/Ggulfing the ^Am/Gbcity The ^F/Fflame lick up warming my ^E/Ebones The ^Am/Alight is so ^Am/Abbright that the ^Am/Gstars are for^Am/Gbgotten The ^F/Fonly god left is the ^E/Emoon The ^Am/Apeople are ^Am/Abcrying, shouting, ^Am/Gscreaming they're ^Am/Gbdying Those ^F/Fliving are left without ^E/Ehomes But their ^Am/Ahouses were ^Am/Abbuilt on the ^Am/Gblood of some ^Am/Gbother An^F/Fother who is yet un^E/Eknown

And I ^Am/Awant to go ^Am/Abdown there and ^Am/Gwalk through the ^Am/Gbcity ^F/FHeat from my heart in those ^E/Eflames I ^Am/Asee someone ^Am/Abstanding, a ^Am/Gstranger in ^Am/Gbshadows I ^F/Fgreet him, he calls out my ^E/Ename I say "^Am/ARah! we've suc^Am/Abceeded, the ^Am/Gcity is de^Am/Gbfeated We ^F/Faccomplished wherefor we ^E/Ecame" He says "^Am/AFool, don't you ^Am/Abknow that's the ^Am/Gwork of no ^Am/Gbmortal The ^F/Fsun and the stars are to bla^E/Eme"

The ^Am/Afire has ^Am/Abburned out, the ^Am/Gembers are ^Am/Gbcooling The ^F/Fash falls, it looks just like ^E/Esnow The ^Am/Achildren who ^Am/Absurvived and the ^Am/Gghosts of those who ^Am/Gbdidn't Are ^F/Fplaying like there's no tomor^E/Erow In the ^Am/Acenter of the ^Am/Abcity, the ^Am/Gold gods are ^Am/Gbgathered To ^F/Fsurvey their new ^E/Emasterpiece They ^Am/Adiscuss the ^Am/Abpros and the ^Am/Gcons of des^Am/Gbtruction And ^F/Fwelcome the newly ^E/Edeceased And ^Am/AOrion's still ^Am/Ablaughing, he's ^Am/Gholding his ^Am/Gbsides As he ^F/Frolls on the floor in the ^E/Esky As ^Am/AI real^Am/Abize that I'm ^Am/Gnot an im^Am/Gbmortal The ^F/Fstranger in shadows appe^E/Ears at my side
