City Song Tab

by Emmy The Great


I figured this out from a live acoustic version so I'm not totally sure if the full 
is the same but this is good enough to strum along to.

Capo 3

                        
The city called me so I came
                                
It isn't mine to question what it said
                                 
I sleep until the point when I'm awake
                                   
I walk until there's nothing left to trek
                                 
And everyone is looking for an answer
                               
And everyone is waiting for a break
                                   
I came and I was bored of it soon after
      
But I had
                         
nowhere to go and so I stayed
                            
I dreamed a lifetime of this place
                           
It seemed an awful thing to waste

Well the morning fills my mouth up with decay
                                  
I like it, it reminds me how you taste
                                       
Sometimes I feel you rising up behind me like the wind
                           
But I still try to look away
                                    
What will you look like when you're old?
(What will you look like when you're old?)
                               
What will I do if I don't know you?
(What will I do if I don't know you?)
                                     
I guess that I decided not to ask the day
            
I took the road
                        
Down to the city as it called
                          
Sun making silhouettes of gauze
                      
I don't remember you at all

The city called me and I came
                        
It isn't mine to question why
                                  
Sometimes the clouds will rise ahead, I hear your name
                        
It's like a choir in the sky
                                   
What will you look like when you're old?
(What will you look like when you're old?)
                              
What will I do if I don't know you?
(What will I do if I don't know you?)
                                                  
I guess that I decided not to know the day I took the road
                        
Down to the city as it called
                         
Sun making silhouettes of gauze
                      
I don't remember you at all

They pulled a human from my waist
                             
It had your mouth, it had your face
                           
I would have kept it if I'd stayed.

Enjoy, Mike x
