Birds of Tokyo – Lion (Guitar)

G
  It's way past midnight and she's still up

C
thinkin'. Heavy-hearted and got trouble

Am
sleepin'. Feeling so low and alone again.

G
  A room with a view, but nobody can

C
see her. One tiny window where dreams

    Am
disappear, as they fall to the floor.

            C                        N.C.
In her heart and her soul, I can hear her sayin'…

G
 I wanna run through the streets like a lion;

C
   Make this city my jungle. I won't sleep to-

Am
night. I'm chasin' the bright lights.

G
 I wanna run through the streets like a lion.

C
   Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free

  Am         Em          C          G
tonight. I'm chasin' the big bright lights.

G
  Four paper walls and a fan on the

   C
ceilin'. Feels like a trap with no way to get

Am                                C
out. She's got to find a way somehow

G
  Keys in her hand as she heads for the

C
front door. Onе last look at a room she's so

Am
over. Therе's a voice saying "Go"

            C                        N.C.
In her heart and her soul, I can hear her sayin'…

G
 I wanna run through the streets like a lion;

C
   Make this city my jungle. I won't sleep to-

Am
night. I'm chasin' the bright lights.

G
 I wanna run through the streets like a lion.

C
   Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free

  Am         Em          C          G
tonight. I'm chasin' the big bright lights.

G
  Chasin' the big bright lights.

C
  I'm chasin' the big bright lights.

Am    Em          C          G
  I'm chasin' the big bright lights.

G            C
 (I hear her.  I hear her sayin'.)

G
  I've been here too long in this cage.

C
  Give me just one night to escape.

G
  Won't let the fear take anything out.

C
  I won't be the one to give it power.

G
  Too many times I've settled for less,

C
  Tearing a hole in my happiness.

G
  To be free, you've got to be sure.

C
  Sometimes you'll lose what you were before.

Em                 D
  Now hear me roar!

          C
So take a listen tonight. In the city, you'll find

        C                      N.C.
She got nothing to hide. I can still hear her sayin'…

G
 I wanna run through the streets like a lion;

C
   Make this city my jungle. I won't sleep to-

Am
night. I'm chasin' the bright lights.

G
 I wanna run through the streets like a lion.

C
   Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free

  Am         Em          C          G
tonight. I'm chasin' the big bright lights.

G
  I'm chasin' the big bright lights.

C
  I'm chasin' the big bright lights.

Am
  I'm chasin' the big bright lights.

G
  She wants to run like a lion. (Chasing the big bright lights.)

C
  Chasing the big bright lights.

Am             Em         C  G
  She wants to run like a li-on.
