Intro (play twice):
A(v) / / A7 A6 A(v) D / G / /
Verse:
A(v) A7 A6 A(v) D G / / /
City streets, I see your lies, I will not play your game,
A(v) A7 A6 A(v) D G /
No longer will you talk to me, you think I'm going insane,
A(v) A7 A6 A(v) D G /
But I've forgotten my number now, I'm remembering my name.

I've been too long travelling on your train.
Verse:
You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain,
You tried to hypnotise me, but I see right through your game,
And now your tatty tricks to me seem really rather tame,
I've been too long travelling on your train.
Chorus:
City lights don't shine, they glare
And your music doesn't speak, it swears,
And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.
Repeat intro:
Verse:
Someday soon I know I'm going miles and miles away,
Back to the garden where the magic children play,
And to the country lady who knows more than I can say,
Whose night shines brighter than your day.
Chorus:
City lights don't shine, they glare
And your music doesn't speak, it swears,
And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.
A... (repeat to fade).
