INTRO: | A1 | A1 | A2 | A2 |

V1: they'A1re pacing picadilly in packs again
and A2moaning for the mercy of a never come rain
the A3sun's had enough and the shimmering sky
has the A2heave and the hugh of the woman on fire
shop A5shutters rattle down and i'm cutting the crowd
all D5scented and descending from the satellite towns
the A5neon is graffiti singing 'make a new start'
so i D5look for a plot where i can bury my broken heart
C1: no, Ai know i won't forget Dyou, but i'll forget myself A
if the city will forDgive me
V2: tA5he man on the door has a head like mars
like a D5baby born to the doors of the bars
and surA5rounded by steam with his folded arms
he's got that D5urban genie thing going on
he's so A5mercifully free of the pressures of grace
saint D5peter in satin, he's like budah with mace
he's so A5mercifully free of the pressures of grace
saint D5peter in satin, he's like budah with mace
C2: no, Ai know i won't forget Dyou, but i'll forget myself A
if the city will forDgive me
no, i kAnow i won't forget youD, but i'll forget myself A
if the city will forDgive me
MID: do A5you move through the room witD5h a glass in your hand'
C5thinking too hard about the D5way you stand'
are you A5watching them pair off and D5drinking them long'
C5falling in love every D5second song
do you A5move through the room with a D5glass in your hand'
C5thinking too hard about the D5way you stand'
are you A5watching them pair off and D5drinking them long'
C5are you falling in lovD5e are you falling in love
are you falling in love every second song'
SOALO: baa____, ba,D ba, baa____, ba,A ba, baa____, ba,D ba, baa____
C3: no, Ai know i won't forget Dyou, but i'll forget myself A
if the city will forDgive me
no, i kAnow i won't forget youD, but i'll forget myself A
if the city will forDgive me
