[Verse 1]
A# D#
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above
A#
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes

And you feel a strange attraction oohh oohh

The air is vibrant and electrified

Welcome to me here I am, my arms are open wide
[Verse 2]
A# D#
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
A#
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
D#
And a million voices blend into a single voice
A#
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
F D#
People come and take their chances ooh ooh
A#
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot
F
Come make your own contribution to this melting pot
[Chorus]

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk I am the city
A# F/A#
The skyline is is me
D#/A#
And the energy I am the city
A# F/A G#
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
Gm A#
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
D# Gm F Dm D#
And the people the air that your breathing is me
D#m A#
Yes I am the city you let me be
[Verse 3]
A# D#
People feed me with their lives I am a hungry soul
A#
And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night
D#
Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet
A#
But come the night they will be dancing in the neon light
F D#
Dazzled by the crazy magic ooh ooh
A#
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf
F
And in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh
