[A][D][A]
[A][D][A]
[A][D][A]
[D][D]

[Verse 1]
[A]Take back the cit[D]y for your sel[A]f tonight
Or I'll take back the [D]city for [A]me
Take back the [D]city for your [A]self tonight
[D]Whoa

[Verse 2]
[A]God knows you put[D] your life into [A]it's hands
And it's both [D]cradled you and [A]crushed
But now it's [D]time
to make your [A]own demands
[D]Whoa

[Verse 3]
[A]All these years lat[D]er and it's kil[A]ling me
Your broken [D]records in [A]words
Ten thousand [D]craters where it [A]all should be
[D]Whoa

[Verse 4]
[A]No need to put[D] your words into [A]my mouth
Don't need con[D]vincing at [A]all
I love this [D]place to know to [A]have no doubts
[D]Whoa

[Pre-chorus 1]
It's a [A]mess, it's a [G]start
It's a [D]flawed work of [F]art
Your [A]ci- ty your [G]call
Every [D]crack, every [F]wall
Pick a [A]side, pick a [G]fight
Get your [D]ep- itaph [F]right
You can [A]sing, 'til you [G]drop
'Cause the [D]fun just never [F]stops

[Chorus 1]
[A]I love this city tonight
[C]I love this city al [D]ways
[A]It bears it's teeth like a light
[C]And spits me out after[D] day's
[A]But we're all gluttons for it
[C]We know what's wrong and it'[D]s right
[A]For every time it's been hit
[C]Take back the city to [D]night

[Verse 5]
[A]Tell me you nev[D]er wanted mor[A]e than this
And I will [D]stop talking [A]now
One perfect [D]partner, one e[A]ternal kiss
[D]Whoa

[Verse 6]
[A]Take back the cit[D]y for your sel[A]f tonight
Or I'll take back the [D]city for [A]me
Take back the [D]city for your [A]self tonight
[D]Whoa
