Capo:no capo

[Verse 1]
 
      E                   A             E                     A
Each day’s the same, I’m bled bone dry still wondering why I can’t get high.
E                      A                  E                      A
I check the time, the EL’s in five. It’s taking me somewhere to feel alive.
Gb                  A             Gb                         A          
East to the lake, uptown or down searching for something to stay on the 
  E    A E
groundddddd
 
[Verse 2]
 
     E                        A                    E                             
Big pay ain’t my aim, want a sense of the thrill. Living’s not living when you’re
   A
 chasin’ these bills
E                      A                 E                     A
Summer’s sublime as a kid I did thrive. Skip to today and I’m slippin' and 
sliding.
Gb                         A                     Gb                        A     
Something to shake these shadows from town. The day’s are as heavy as the nights 
       B    A
are unsound
 
[Chorus]
 
     B                   Db
The city I live is where I want to be
         Gb   Db    B
and the band plays on
         Gb   Db    B
and the train rolls on
         Gb   Db   Ab  B  Gb
and the band plays onnnnnnnnnnn
 
[Verse 3]
 
E                 A                     E               A
Moving around to find that niche that feels like home before this switch
E                       A                  E                       A
Comforts of life much simpler than this repeat in my head like a record that 
skips.
Gb                    A                    Gb                     A          B   
Try to turn down the backround noise, but can’t seem to find the balance no more.
 A
 
[Verse 4]
 
       E                        A                          E                     
Be a ghost in this town, if it weren’t for this itch. My instincts are roaming as
    A
 a madman unhitched
E                  A                  E                                A
Sun’s gonna rise. second city glitz. It’s good and it’s bad days. and not a quick
 fix.
Gb                    A                   Gb                        A           
Rose in the dawn. My morning's a bitch…. Goddamn this traffic. I'm sick of this 
 B   A
shit.
 
[Chorus]
 
     B                   Db
The city I live is where I want to be
         Gb   Db    B
and the band plays on
         Gb   Db    B
and the train rolls on
         Gb   Db   Ab  B  Gb
and the band plays onnnnnnnnn
 
[Bridge]
 
Gb                      Ab
Step out my door and i stare at the sky
          B    Gb          B    Gb      E
It's the same sky and the sun shines on me
Gb                         Ab
Step off the train and I'm on my way down
        B   Gb    B    Gb           E               Ab
to the downtown, city sounds around me. and I feel free.
 
[Chorus]
 
     B                   Db
The city I live is where I want to be
         Gb   Db    B
and the band plays on
         Gb   Db    B
and the train rolls on
         Gb   Db   Ab  B  Gb
and the band plays onnnnnnnnn
