G C/G
City flower
G C/G
Raised under street lights
G C/G
Hothouse rose
G C/G
Born in the shade
G Em
It could not hold you
C G C/G
The empire skyline
G Am
Could never keep you
CG C/G
From turning to flame
G C/G
I was restless
G C/G
Running from nothing
G C/G
I built my foundation
G C/G
On the shifting sands
G Em
And I was a pauper
C G C/G
At midnight and morning
GAm
Morning glory
C D
You king me where I stand
Chorus:
C D
You find me in the shadows
G C/G G
And the shade
C D
Show me how to bloom
G D/F# Em
I promise I wont fade
C
City flower
D G C/G G
Wrapped around my heart
C
Like a daisy chain
D G C/G G
No one can tear apart
2nd Verse:
The barroom lights
Are fine and theyre golden
The city bells
Ring soft in the night
But to be in your arms
All twined up and tangled
Thats the only thing
Can make me feel alright
Chorus
