[Em]Sirens bleed through my window sill, I [D]can't [C]close my eyes

London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C* D* G
This is now my home, my home
[Em]Oh, oh,[D] I'm burning [C]on the back streets
[Em]Oh, oh, st[D]uck he[C]re sitting in the back seat,
[Em]Oh, oh, and I'm [D]blazing on[C] the street

And my lungs hurt, And my ears bled,
Em* G
With the sound of the city life, echoed in my head
C* D*
Do I need this, to keep me alive
[G]The traffic stops and starts but I need to move along
[Em]I?m from a city where the rain won?t cease
Po[D]llution in the air matches [C]that on the street
The b[Em]lack smoke gets you head into a muddle, like
[D]Walking into ele[C]phant syringes in the puddle, like
[Em] I was a country boy when I moved out
[D]Grew up too fast for m[C]y family to find out
[Em]Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives
[D]Can?t resort to arrogance with [C]white lies
[Em] This city won?t erase me
But [D]I can?t help to see how this [C]dark city changed me
[Em]It?s all the same scene, music is my life
But[D] I try to fight what[C]ever I need to hide from
[Em] North, South, East, West,
London?s my [D]home now, knees weak, [C]but we never slow down
[Em]Now I start to do my music properly
And [D]stay from all the nega[C]tive shit that will follow me
