Intro
Am G F
[Verse 1]
Am G F
This city never sleeps
Am G F
I hear the people walk by when it's late
Am G F
Sirens bleed through my window sill, I can't close my eyes
Am G F
Don't control what I'm into
Am G F
This tower is alive
Am G F
The lights that blind keep me awake
Am G F
With my hood up and lace untied, sleep fills my mind
Am G F
Don't control what I'm into
[Hook]
C* D* Em* C
London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C* D* C
This is now my home, my home
Am G F
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Am G F
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Am G F
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
C*
And what I do isn't up to you,
D*
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
[Verse 2]
Am G F
The pavement is my friend
Am G F
It will take me where I need to go
Am G F
I find it trips me up, and puts me down
Am G F
This is not what I’m used to
Am G F
The shop across the road
Am G F
Fulfills my needs and gives me company, when I need it
Am G F
Voices speak through my walls, I don’t think I’m gonna make it
Am G F
Past tomorrow
[Hook]
C* D* Em* C
London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C* D* C
This is now my home, my home
Am G F
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Am G F
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Am G F
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
C*
And what I do isn't up to you,
D*
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
[Bridge]
C* D*
And my lungs hurt, And my ears bled,
Em* C
With the sound of the city life, echoed in my head
C* D*
Do I need this, to keep me alive
C
The traffic stops and starts but I need to move along
[Verse 3]
Am
I’m from a city where the rain won’t cease
G F
Pollution in the air matches that on the street
Am
The black smoke gets you head into a muddle, like
G F
Walking into elephant syringes in the puddle, like
Am
I was a country boy when I moved out
G F
Grew up too fast for my family to find out
Am
Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives
G F
Can’t resort to arrogance with white lies
Am
This city won’t erase me
G F
But I can’t help to see how this dark city changed me
Am
It’s all the same scene, music is my life
G F
But I try to fight whatever I need to hide from
Am
North, South, East, West,
G F
London’s my home now, knees weak, but we never slow down
Am
Now I start to do my music properly
G F
And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me
[Hook]
C* D* Em* C
London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C* D* C
This is now my home, my home
Am G F
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Am G F
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Am G F
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
C*
And what I do isn't up to you,
D*
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
[Outro]
Am G F
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Am G F
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Am G F
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
C*
And what I do isn't up to you,
D* Am
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
