[Intro 1]
[C][D][Em][G][D][Em][D]
[C]

[Verse 1]
So you [Em]found
your[D]self a corner apart[C]ment
With a view of [D]the town all your [C]own
All your [Em]friends say
[D]The city's gonna kill [C]you or cure you
[Em]Five [D]flights of stairs [C]to your home

[Verse 2]
And even [G]now,
[D]It's cha[Em]nged how[D] you walk in the[C] street
Past cabbies [D]and chimney
[Em]sweeps[D]
[Esus4]Be careful with [Em]stra[D]nger
[C]s you speak to

[Verse 3]
[Chor[D]us]
What has this [G]city [C]done to you?
[D]Has it taken the small tow[G]n out[C] of you
And [D]turned you into [G]someone I [C]never
[Gsus4]knew?[C]

[Verse 4]
When we were [Em]kid s[D]
In the warmth [C]of a porch light
You'd [Em]smuggle out [D]twin [C]cigarettes
We'd blow [Em]smoke in [D]the air
With typical [C]hometown flair
Two fu[Em]tures [D]we could
not pre[C]dict

[Verse 5]
And look at [G]you now,
[Em]The dreamer with [D]the back porch [C]plan
For the writer and [D]the mu
sic [Em]man[D]
[Esus4]Our faces on [Em]magazine [D]stands[C]

[Verse 6]
[Chor[D]us]
What has this [G]city [C]done

[Verse 7]
to you?
Has it [D]taken the in[G]nocence
[C]out of you
[D]And turned you into [G]someone
[C]I never knew?
Did I ever know [D]you?

[Verse 8]
[Em]Do y[G]ou k[D]now[Em][D][C]
[F]how
you light [Esus4]up these buildi[E]ngs?
[D]You can turn the [C]head of a man
whose grown [Em]old[D]
You're a [C]candle when the
streets grow cold

[Verse 9]
I can hear [Em]a cricket [D]in your fifth
floor apart[C]ment
It's 3 AM
[Em]Back home he'd[D] put me to[C] sleep
But he's [Em]fighting to [D]be heard
He [C]can't get in a word
'Cause there's [Em]a fool
[D]Laughing outside [C]in the street

[Verse 10]
Where are [G]you now?
I [Em]lost you [D]outside on Montague [C]Street
To [D]the city that never will [Em]sleep[D]
[Esus4]Is it the sideshow [Em]in you[D]
That [C]it speaks [Gsus4]to?[C]
[D][G][C]
