We Love The City Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]This is London, not Antarctica,
[A]so [D]why don't the tubes run all night,
You are my Girl[A]friend,
[D]not Mol[A]ly Rin[E]gwa[D]ld, so why won't you stay here tonight,
This is sixth form [G]poetry not Keats or [A]Yeats,
and [Bm]now we find the part t[A]hat we b[G]oth hate.

[Verse 2]
We love [D]the city because it lets [F#]us down,
We love [G]the city not the suburbs that sur[E]round.
We love [D]all the dirty things, that [A]lead us to think,
that [G]maybe true love could [D]be found.
We love the city because its how [F#]we live,
We love [G]the city cause it never loves [E]us back.
We love [D]it all because sometimes,
even [A]though they're hard to find,
It con[G]tains all the virtues we lack[D].

[Verse 3]
I am [A]intrigued, not merely [Em]curious as [D]to why
it takes [Em]so long to change [D]your mind.
I am [A]competent, not merely [Em]adequate,
its im[D]possible for me [Em]to be unki[D]nd.
This is embar[G]rassing, not merely [A]awkward and [Bm]I have ig[A]nored
much greater feel[G]ings

[Verse 4]
We can [Bm]hold those aspirations [F#m]down with
bad [G]luck and half hearted frown[D]s,
But [Bm]fear alone will never bring [F#m]us down,
[G]that can only happen in [A]the small towns,
[D][A]

[Verse 5]
And if [E]you don't love me [Ab]now,
if [A]you don't love me [F#]now, if you [E]don't love me,
Then [B]you can't [A]have me,
you [E]can't [Ab]have[A][F#][E][Em][E][B][A]

[Outro 1]
me now.
