Dm    Am    C    F    Dm    Am    C    F


[Verse 1]
   Dm                              Am
I don't know what it is about this city
              C             F
Every road I walk down I discover
       Dm                       Am
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
                C
I never had in me
              F
I guess you knew it all along
                Dm                         Am
That somewhere down the darkest alley is a heartbeat
      C
Is a heartbeat
       F
You remind me
       Dm                                Am
And I swear that I am walking through a daydream
  C
Hear your heartbeat
         F
That's where you're gonna find me


[Verse 2]
Dm                            Am            C
Every shape and transatlantic color wrap around me
         F                   Dm                          Am              C          F
I've discovered that I just want to get as far as I can run to From the sun in California
             Dm                          Am
I don't know how the west is ever gonna win me
           C               F
Once I'm breathing in the water
            Dm                         Am
I'm gonna drown out every sentimental memory
          C               F
Find the courage to start over


[Chorus]
       Am    G      C           F
Oh, I know there's got to be a reason
           Am  G   C               F
'Cause I'm always running from my life
                Am      G       C                 F
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
       Dm                               F
But I don't know what it is about this city


[Verse 3]
 Dm                            Am
Miles away someone I know is sleeping
      C                F
In a bedroom, by the window
             Dm                               Am
I guess I've always been afraid that I would miss out
          C               F
And get blown out like a candle
       Dm                              Am
And I don't know what it is about this city
              C              F
Every road I walk down I discover
        Dm                      Am
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
                C
I never had in me
           F
And it's raining here in London


[Chorus]
       Am    G      C           F
Oh, I know there's got to be a reason
           Am  G   C               F
'Cause I'm always running from my life
                Am      G       C                 F
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
       Dm                               F
But I don't know what it is about this city
