[Verse 1]
[C]Another morning in [F]the city
Another morning in the gritty
and so and [C]so
Another young man got stabbed
on the pavement
Then an[F]other young man never
made it to the station
Tell his mother where
[C]she’s waiting
Another morning in the [F]city
Another morning in the gritty
and so [C]and so
Did you see the smoke coming
out of the flames here
And then they [F]try and take a
story out the papers
80 dead, not one more person
locked away [C]yet
And so and so
[F]

[Verse 2]
Still seeing all blood [C]in these lights,
mud in these lies
Six o’clock news
doesn’t cover these [F]crimes
Cut corners and cost lives
Cut the poorest with no trial
No convic[C]tion and no distinction
Between whats wrong
here and what’s right
And do we honestly [F]look by
It’s feeling grey in the blue sky
And the rain hits [C]harder today
I see it’s come from the front
page to the tenth page
Back to where no- one [F]relates to the pain
No- one relates to the pain
Does anyone ever re[C]member the flame
Re[F]member the flames

[Verse 3]
Another [C]morning in the [F]city
Another morning in the gritty
and [C]so and so
Another young man got stabbed
on the pavement
Then an[F]other young man never
made it to the station
Tell his mother where
[C]she’s waiting
Another morning in [F]the city
Another morning in the gritty
and so [C]and so
Did you see the smoke coming
out of the flames here
And then they try [F]and take a
story out the papers
80 dead, not one more person
locked away [C]yeah
And so and so
[F]

[Verse 4]
Where did all the [C]care go
Where’s our halo
Disillusioned kids on the main road
[F]Unheard of and unliked
Bloody murders and blue lights
Did you see [C]on the timeline
No electric and no lights
Hold tight now because
it’s a [F]cold night
We’re on the pipe now
And if you don’t like it tell [G]us pipe [C]down

[Verse 5]
I keep [C]dreaming of bad days
Keep dreaming of better [F]ways
When we can trust anyone when no
worries we can just [G]go [C]away
But for now just sitting on the train
Watching [F]everybody’s face
Point to the floor through for
another [C]day

[Verse 6]
And can [C]we even see the [F]flames
And can we even see the [C]flames
And can we even see the flames
[F]

[Verse 7]
So [C]and so
[F]So [C]and so

[Verse 8]
Another [C]morning in [F]the city
Another morning in the
gritty [C]so and so

[Verse 9]
Another young [C]man got stabbed
on the pavement
Then an[F]other young man never
made it to the station
Tell his mother where she’s waiting
An[C]other morning in the [F]city
Another morning in the
gritty [C]so and so

[Verse 10]
Did you [C]see the smoke coming
out of the flames here
And then they try and [F]take a story
out the papers
80 dead, not one more person
locked away [C]yeah

[Outro 1]
And so and so
