Em       D   C
 This city never sleeps
Em                 D   C
 I hear the people walk by when it's late
Em                   D   C
Sirens bleed through my window sill, I can't close my eyes
Em            D   C
Don't control what I'm into

Em       D   C
This tower is alive
Em               D   C
The lights that blind keep me awake
Em               D   C
With my hood up and lace untied, sleep fills my mind
Em            D   C
Don't control what I'm into

C     D         Em     G
  London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C     D      G    G
  This is now my home, my home

Em   D      C
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Em    D   C
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Em       D     C
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
  C
And what I do isn't up to you,
      D
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two

Em        D   C
The pavement is my friend
Em                D   C
 It will take me where I need to go
Em          D   C
I find it trips me up, and puts me down
Em          D   C
This is not what I?m used to

Em          D   C
 The shop across the road
Em                 D   C
  Fulfills my needs and gives me company, when I need it
Em              D       C
Voices speak through my walls, I don?t think I?m gonna make it
Em     D   C
Past tomorrow

C     D         Em     G
  London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C     D      G    G
  This is now my home, my home

Em   D      C
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Em    D   C
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Em       D     C
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
  C
And what I do isn't up to you,
      D
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two

C          D
  And my lungs hurt, And my ears bled,
Em                G
 With the sound of the city life, echoed in my head
C        D
 Do I need this, to keep me alive
G
The traffic stops and starts but I need to move along

Em
I?m from a city where the rain won?t cease
 D             C
Pollution in the air matches that on the street
   Em
The black smoke gets you head into a muddle, like
D        C
Walking into elephant syringes in the puddle, like
Em
 I was a country boy when I moved out
D           C
Grew up too fast for my family to find out
Em
Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives
D               C
Can?t resort to arrogance with white lies
Em
 This city won?t erase me
  D              C
But I can?t help to see how this dark city changed me
Em
It?s all the same scene, music is my life
  D          C
But I try to fight whatever I need to hide from
Em
 North, South, East, West,
      D           C
London?s my home now, knees weak, but we never slow down
Em
Now I start to do my music properly
  D           C
And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me
C     D         Em     G
  London calls me a stranger, a traveller
C     D      G    G
  This is now my home, my home
Em   D      C
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Em    D   C
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Em       D     C
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
  C
And what I do isn't up to you,
      D
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
Em   D      C
Oh, oh, I'm burning on the back streets
Em    D   C
Oh, oh, stuck here sitting in the back seat,
Em       D     C
Oh, oh, and I'm blazing on the street
  C
And what I do isn't up to you,
      D                   Em
