I Am The City Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]i a[C]m the city[G], you let me be

[Interlude 1]
i am the city
[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Coming through a cloud you're
looking [C]at me from above
And I'm a revelation spreading
out be[G]fore your eyes
And you find me beautiful
and [C]irresistible
A kind of creature that forever
seems to [G]grow in size
[D]And you feel a strange [C]attraction
The air is vibrant and [G]electrified
[D]Welcome to me here I am,
my arms are open [G]wide

[Verse 3]
[G]Somewhere in the middle of
the [C]never ending noise
There is a constant steady
rhythm of a [G]heart that beats
And a million voices blend
in[C]to a single voice
And you can hear it in the glamor
of the [G]crowded streets
[D]People come and take their
[C]chances
Sometimes you win sometimes
you [G]lose a lot
[D]Come make your own contribution
to this [G]melting pot

[Verse 4]
I'm the street you [G]walk
The language [C]you talk
I am [G]the city[C][G]
The skyline is [D]me and [G]the en[C]ergy
I am the [G]city
The famous [D]hotels and the cocktail bars
[F]And the funny smells[Em]
And the turmoil, the [G]cars and [C]the people
The [D]air that [Bm]you're breathing is [C]me
Yes I am the city, [Cm]you let m[G]e be

[Verse 5]
[G]People feed me with their
lives I [C]have a hungry soul
And they all worship me and pay
their homage [G]day and night
Every day I knew a lot of
[C]tired shopping feet
But come the night they will be
dancing in the [G]neon light
[D]Dazzled by the crazy [C]magic
They're grabbing pieces
of the [G]fatted calf
[D]And in the wind if you listen [C]hard
you'll [G]hear me laugh

[Verse 6]
I'm the street you [D]walk
The [G]language you [C]talk
I am the [G]city
The skyline is me and the en[C]ergy
I am the [G]city
The famous [D]hotels and the [F#m]cocktail [D]bars
[F]And the funny smells[Em]
And the turmoil, the [G]cars and [C]the people
The [D]parks and [Bm]the squares
that [C]you see
[Cm]All the soun[G]ds that you [C]hear
And the [D]air that [Bm]you're breathing is [C]me
Yes I am the city, you let me be
[G][D][G][C]

You let [G]me [C]be
