[Intro]

[Verse]
C         G       Am                  F
Most of my life, I sat on my hands, I don't make a sound
C          G        Am                 F
Getting it right, I made all my plans, lost, never found
C              G                      Am     F
Your eyes, your smile can light up the night, night
C         G                       Am   F
Embers and neon signs paint up our sky, sky
[Chorus]
C        G
Airplanes cut through the clouds
    Am              F
Like angels can fly, we'll never die
C     G
Sirens cut through the night
    Am                     F
Like screams that are fire, rising up high
        Am                  F
Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose
C
In this city, in this city woah
[Verse]
C          G       Am                   F
All of this time, I questioned myself, I never could wait
C          G          Am                 F
Looking for signs, not asking for help, I know it's too late
C             G                         Am    F
A love lost and buried here, it comes to life, life
C          G                        Am      F
Make believe worlds make us all feel alive, live
[Chorus]
C        G
Airplanes cut through the clouds
    Am              F
Like angels can fly, we'll never die
C     G
Sirens cut through the night
    Am                     F
Like screams that are fire, rising up high
        Am                  F
Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose
C
In this city, in this city woah
[Bridge]
Am                          F
I never wanna wait for this, harder that I was made for this
Am     F
I won't fade into dark
Am                               F
I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry, gonna see the end of this story
Am     F              G
I won't fade into darkness
C G Am F
[Chorus]
C        G
Airplanes cut through the clouds
    Am              F
Like angels can fly, we'll never die
C     G
Sirens cut through the night
    Am                     F
Like screams that are fire, rising up high
        Am                  F
Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose
C
In this city, in this city woah
