       Em   A Em       A7           Em  A Em A7
Empty City,      it's calling your name

          Am      D Am         D7            Em  A Em A7
Wheel of fortune,      sucking you into the game

It's a fatal attraction, that pulls you like a moth to the flame

Empty City,      sitting waiting in the hills

Babylonian,      promising all kinds of thrills

         Cmaj7                               F#m             B            Em  A Em A7    Em A Em A7
Here they all know what they want, and they chase it with a passion that kills

Count your money,      every day it seems to grow

       Cmaj7                          F#m             B      Am    Bm
Build a wall around your dream, get a gun, don't let nobody close

         C              D
Are you happy with the life that you chose?

Em
She came in from the desert and the dust and now she's trying to stay afloat on a crazy sea of lust
It's hard to love a city when that city has no heart, it'll rape your mind and sell your body
                      Am                  Em
It'll tear your soul apart, oooh tear it apart

                   C                                          D                    E F
'Cause when you scratch through the surface you won't find a damn thing underneath

                             B        A    G            F      Em
And everybody's moving on, that's why I believe it's an Empty City, it's an Empty City

       Em   A Em       A7           Em  A Em A7
Empty City,      it's calling your name

          Am      D Am         D7            Em  A Em A7
Wheel of fortune,      sucking you into the game

       Cmaj7                  F#m               B            Am   Bm   C
It's a fatal attraction, that pulls you like a moth to the flame

                D                Am  Bm C              D                    Am  Bm C
Till you’ve forgotten your name,          where the streets are lined with pain

       D          Am   Bm C D Em
But I can't stay away,                     it's an Empty City, Empty City
