Razorlight - In the city

Standard tuning

Play the verses open and the choruses barred. 
& the first chorus with some plucking, I wont tab it cos it's dead easy.

INTRO

E | D | E | D A |


VERSE 1
E                     D                
Well it's a close one, a real close one
E                                 D           A
But no one gets hurt and she's got twice the fun
E 			  D
Now they're kissing the rain
 	  E			   D
And did someone call out someones name
	A	E                
From a white Cadillac on a wide wind
D				E
To her white dress across the great divide
		   D    A
Into the warm moonlight 
E			   D
And she's been reading Bukowski for days
E			D	  A
Leans over, spits her name in my face
	   E			     D
And says "Well now you know how it feels"
E			   D    A    E	
Well now you know how it feels 


CHORUS
	     E	         D
And I was looking for you
 E             D   A
Looking for you 
 E             D                E 
Looking for you in the city last night 


VERSE 2  same chords as 1

The boys in the band steal a kiss in the mystery of the night
11:59 to zero, little blonde hair in jeans, holds her tight
Turns on the heat and starts to fight and sayin' "that's my man"
Well the myth of love must have been there
The spirit of possession was there 
And the boys over at the bar
Yeah they're mixing up their medicines
The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception and
Johnny's shadow's getting long but he keeps on singing
His shadows getting long but he keeps on singing: 


CHORUS  same chords, getting faster

But I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night 

And people so strange
People so strange
People just keep talking in the city lights 

5 strums of an open E

VERSE 3

Take off your shades and scroll down to number nine
You're living on the guest list, up against the meat rack
Head back, hand outs, it's getting loud in here
Think you're going to have to shout
And she's tearing off her clothes
He's mixing his drinks, oh well
Streets divide them
It's an empire of signs
Honey say she can read
It looks like trouble
It tastes like chocolate if you want it
It looks like trouble
But it tastes like chocolate if you want it 

CHORUS

Still I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night 

And people so strange
People so strange
People get so ugly in the city light 

And I was looking for you
And I was looking for you
And I was looking for you in the city last night 

And I was looking for you
Yeah I was looking for you
Yeah I was looking for you in the city last night 

It's alright!
It's alright!
If you say my name
It's alright!
etc

Just have fun with the outro - play it very loud with lots of screaming.
Dave.
