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
And you Cwatch the BBGC and you think, "WCell, what if thatG was me'"
Such a pCromising Glife to Cwaste. C
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."
And you Csaid you'd wait forG me until the day CI could sing on Gkey
"There's Cjust sometGhing about Cyour face."
Then you'd Ccall, I could Gfeel your body Dfall down next to Cme,
And I Gwanted us to Dbe fast CasleepG, closer than Canything to Gme,
Like Cwe were Ghome Cagain... C
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
And how the Cfeeling is so Gdeep
when you're running Cdown the London Gstreets
Like there's Cnowhere Gleft to Cgo. C
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
Then the Ccareless way you Gsay, "Yeah, we were Cjust glad we goGt to play."
When you're Cempty Gto the Ccore.
Then you'd Ccall, I could Gfeel your Dbody fall down next to Cme,
And I Gwanted us to Dbe fast Casleep,G closer than aCnything to Gme,
Like Cwe were Ghome Cagain. C
I'm so tired of the rain. G
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
All the Cwords that go Gunsaid, all the Csacrifices of theG dead,
"We'll fCall quietly intoG the past or we'll Cjust burn the strGeets instead"
In the Cclamoring of the Gcrowd, you think, C"I'll just stay quiet, iGnstead."
All the Cfallen dGizzy angels cDrawling through the Cstreet,
The pGleas of people wDeary on their fCeet,
G And you're half a Cworld away fromG me,
As the Cclouds Gdrown the Clight.
I wonder where you are Gtonight.
