You sit down on the corner
of your favorite bar

Well, I ain't got time
                      Ab
waiting for a sign to come

that we let go

        Cm
You go down to the corner of
your favorite street

When they are selling everything

you need

[Chorus]
Eb                Bb
  This is not my city
                Fm
This is just my home
          Gm        Ab
You don't look too pretty
                            Eb
When you're dancing on your own
                            Bb
And on top of the rich and famous
                          Fm
There will be no dirt no more
                      Gm
But there will be no birds
    Ab N.C.
to sing
                        Cm
A song for the day to begin
Ab  Eb  Bb  B

[Verse 3]
         Cm
You lay down on the streets
of your hometown
        Ab
Are you able to leave?
                 Eb
Can you feel the conrete
              Bb   B
Beneath your feet?
      Cm
Well, maybe it's wrong to carry on
     Ab
And maybe it's all said and done
         Eb
But it's aching
             Bb        B
And I'm not taking it
F F G Cm
