   [Verse 1]
A                                     D
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above
                                   A
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
                                  D
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
                                       A
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
E                                      D
And you feel a strange attraction oohh oohh
                       A
The air is vibrant and electrified
E                                         A
Welcome to me here I am, my arms are open wide
 
 
   [Verse 2]
A                              D
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
                                       A
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
                           D
And a million voices blend into a single voice
                                          A
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
E                                      D
People come and take their chances ooh ooh
                                A
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot
E
Come make your own contribution to this melting pot
 
 
   [Chorus]
A                  E/A
I'm the street you walk
                 D/A
The language you talk I am the city
A              E/A
The skyline is is me
        D/A
And the energy I am the city
A          E/Ab                      G
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
              F#m                         A
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
        D      F#m E             C#m          D
And the people the air that your breathing is me
             Dm              A
Yes I am the city you let me be
 
 
   [Verse 3]
A                               D
People feed me with their lives I am a hungry soul
                                             A
And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night
                          D
Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet
                                               A
But come the night they will be dancing in the neon light
E                              D
Dazzled by the crazy magic ooh ooh
                               A
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf
E
And in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh
 
 
   [Chorus]
A                  E/A
I'm the street you walk
                 D/A
The language you talk I am the city
A              E/A
The skyline is is me
        D/A
And the energy I am the city
A          A/Ab                      G
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
              F#m                         A
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
        D      F#m E             C#m          D
And the people the air that your breathing is me
             Dm              A
Yes I am the city you let me be
 
 
  [Bridge]
A    E/A     D              Dm
             I am the city  You let me be
A   E/A      D
             I am the city
 
  [Chorus 2]
A          E/Ab                      G
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
              D                             Dsus4
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
        D          A
And the people the air that you breath(Coming through the cloud)
             D
Your looking at me from above
                              A
Im a revelation spreading out before your eyes
                    E                     D
The street that you walk,the language you talk
                                Dm            A
I am the city,yea i am the city you let me be me
 
 
   [Outro]
A                             D
And you find me beautiful and irresistable
                                       A
A giant creature that seems to forever grow in size(the skyline is me)
            D                 Dm
And the energy I am the city  You let me be me
A                              D
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noise
                                      A
There is a pulse a steady rhythm of a heart that beats
                    E                     D
I am the street you walk the language you talk
                                Dm            A
I am the city,yea i am the city you let me be me
A                          D
And a million voices blend into a single voice
                                          A
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
A
I am the city
