A*                  A7  A6 A*    D                  G   
City streets, I see your lies, I will not play your game,

A*                 A7  A6 A*       D                 G   
No longer will you talk to me, you think I'm going insane,

    A*                A7  A6 A*         D            G   
But I've forgotten my number now, I'm remembering my name.

          Bm7                         E     Esus4 E
I've been too long travelling on your train.

Verse: You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain, You tried to hypnotise me, but I see right through your game, And now your tatty tricks to me seem really rather tame, I've been too long travelling on your train. Chorus:

Amaj7                         Bm7/A
City lights don't shine, they glare

         Amaj7                   Bm7/A
And your music doesn't speak, it swears,

Dm                      C             G
And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.

Repeat intro: Verse: Someday soon I know I'm going miles and miles away, Back to the garden where the magic children play, And to the country lady who knows more than I can say, Whose night shines brighter than your day. Chorus: City lights don't shine, they glare And your music doesn't speak, it swears, And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there. A
