Intro: G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G
G C/G
City flower
G C/G
Raised under street lights
G C/G
Hothouse rose
G C/G
Born in the shade
G Em
It could not hold you
C G C/G
The empire skyline
G Am
Could never keep you
C G C/G
From turning to flame
G C/G
I was restless
G C/G
Running from nothing
G C/G
I built my foundation
G C/G
On the shifting sands
G Em
And I was a pauper
C G C/G
At midnight and morning
G Am
Morning glory
C D
You king me where I stand
Chorus:
C D
You find me in the shadows
G C/G G
And the shade
C D
Show me how to bloom
G D/F# Em
I promise I won�t fade
C
City flower
D G C/G G
Wrapped around my heart
C
Like a daisy chain
D G C/G G
No one can tear apart
2nd Verse:
The barroom lights
Are fine and they�re golden
The city bells
Ring soft in the night
But to be in your arms
All twined up and tangled
That�s the only thing
Can make me feel alright
Chorus
