City Of Ashes by Jhariah
City Of Ashes
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Am Dm7 E7
Kerosene lit lanterns burn through faded pages
C Dsus2 E E7
Not a single star graces our sky tonight
Am Dm7 E7
The crickets have grown bored of filling our silent spaces
C Dsus2 E E7
We’re losing time and got to make this right
Am Am Am E7
[Verse 1]
Am E
I sing this song to incinerate your skin
Dm C E/B
Just sing along and...(dance)
Am Bm
Build for us from their ashes
A brand new city
C E7
Set fire to your matches
Dowse them in gasoline
[Pre-Chorus]
Am E7/B
Rebuilding skyscrapers from broken glass and Broken souls
F E7
Ain't got no blueprint just a purpose and a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Am E7
Brick by brick we’ll take back what they took
F E F E F E7
Stand from the ashes of what once belonged to you
Am E7
And I’m so sick of this, just take a good hard look
F E F E F E7
At how they blurred your vision and they shaped your view.
Am
[Verse 2]
Am E
Let the sun just incinerate your skin
Dm C E/B
And start all over …
Am
Rebuild what they destroyed (destroyed)
Bm
Make weapons of your voice (your voice)
C E7
Whatever they employ, I’ll exploit, make null and void
[Pre-Chorus]
Am E7/B
Rebuilding skyscrapers from broken glass and
Broken souls
F E7
Ain't got no blueprint just a purpose and a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Am E7
Brick by brick we’ll take back what they took
F E F E F E7
Stand from the ashes of what once belonged to you
Am E7
And I’m so sick of this, just take a good hard look
F E F E F E7
At how they blurred your vision and they shaped your view.

[Bridge]
Am G C E
I set all of these fires but now I’m the one who’s all burned out
Am G C E
Why is it so hard to fight for what’s right I’m breaking down
Am
And what if I stepped out of the ring
E7 F
I abandoned everything
E7
I can’t carry this team
Am G Fmaj7 E7
March along in single file surrendering their lives
[Chorus slowed down]
Am E
Pitch black clouds shadow the burning sun
F E7
But I won’t let these vultures think that they have won
Am E
I’ll be the last one standing when the end’s begun
F E7 Am
I’ll hide away so I don’t have to run
