A(v) A7 A6 A(v) D G / / /

City streets, I see your lies, I will not play your game,

No longer will you talk to me, you think I'm going insane,

A(v) A7 A6 A(v) D G /

But I've forgotten my number now, I'm remembering my name.

Bm7 E Esus4 E

I've been too long travelling on your train.

Verse:

You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain,

You tried to hypnotise me, but I see right through your game,

And now your tatty tricks to me seem really rather tame,

I've been too long travelling on your train.

Chorus:

Amaj7 Bm7/A

City lights don't shine, they glare

Amaj7 Bm7/A

And your music doesn't speak, it swears,

Dm C G

And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.

Repeat intro:

Verse:

Someday soon I know I'm going miles and miles away,

Back to the garden where the magic children play,

And to the country lady who knows more than I can say,

Whose night shines brighter than your day.

Chorus:

City lights don't shine, they glare

And your music doesn't speak, it swears,

And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.

A... (repeat to fade).
