The District Sleeps Alone Tonight chords by Birdy

Intro: C F Am (4x)

C    F   Am  Am
 Smeared black ink
C   F      Am
 Your face is ashen and I'm barely listening
C  F    Am
 To last demands
C          F
 I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
Am           Am
 What's buried underneath


 C   F G G
 Where I am
 C   F G G
 Where I am

   C  F Am  Am
 I'll wear my badge
C           F         Am
 A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
C  F        Am
 That tells your new friends
C    F
 I am a visitor here
Am
 I am not permanent
C    F  Am
 And the only thing
C  F   Am
 Keeping me dry is


C    F   G       G
Where  I   am      (In this gaudy apartment complex)
  You seem so out of context

C      F    G       G
Where    I    am      (Explaining that I am just visiting)
  A stranger with your door key

C      F   G    G
Where    I   am   (why I was the one worth leaving)
  And I am finally seeing
 F             C
(Why I was the one worth leaving)


Am G  F
 D.C. sleeps alone tonight
Am G  F        D
 D.C. sleeps alone tonight



C    F   G       G
Where  I   am      (In this gaudy apartment complex)
  You seem so out of context

C      F    G      G
Where    I    am      (Explaining that I am just visiting)
  A stranger with your door key

C      F   G    G              C
Where    I   am   (why I was the one worth leaving)
  And I am finally seeing
 F              C
(Why I was the one worth leaving)


Am      F        G       (Dm)         Am
 The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
        F      G           Am
 And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
Am     F     G        F        Am
 And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
G       F       C
 Why I was the one worth leaving
G       F       C
 Why I was the one worth leaving
G       F       C
 Why I was the one worth leaving
