Intro: Em/Emadd9
You can alternate between Emadd9 and Em in the verse and intro, though the acoustic
I saw he just played the Emadd9 chord.
Verse:
madd9
Theres a needle in the soul of the city, its flying all around
madd9
Sprays a fine mist over, and switches off the sound
I watch you as you slip away, I watch the sun go down
madd9
Its such a perfect light here, here in my hometown
A calm is on the water, the air is very still
The sun it does not want to rise, it doesn't have the will
The day is all hungover, its dirty and lowdown
And I am like a stranger, here in my hometown
Chorus:
madd9
And don't you feel sometimes like
G Dsus4/F# Am (alternated with Asus4)
Walking away from the world
G Dsus4/F# C (alternated with Cadd9)
Walking away from the world
