Intro -x2-: Gb   Ab   Db

Verse 1:
Gb             Ab        Db
Cried yourself to sleep
           Gb        Ab            Db
I know, lonely under the sheets
                Gb         Ab           Db
Cus you've tried, to make yourself seen
              Ab          Bbm
Through a field of green
        Ab             Db
But it's overgrown

Verse 2:
Gb   Ab         Db
If it all came true
Gb              Ab            Db
When you've seen it all through
Gb            Ab
You'll look back
Db                  Ab
At the footprints on the path
Bbm               Ab         Db
Where does that leave you?

Chorus:
Gb             Ab
Can you be still?
            Bbm           Ab             Gb
There's a void only silence can fill
                                Ab
Where you are is all that's real
                Bbm         Ab
When you're there, remember how it
Gb
feels
Gb              Ab
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
  Bbm             Ab         Gb
Alone, in your city on a hill
Gb              Ab
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
  Bbm             Ab         Gb
Alone, in your city on a hill

Verse 3:
Gb        Ab           Db
Who do you have left
Gb        Ab         Db
Whеn it all goes bad?
Gb       Ab        Db
Who is by your side
             Ab         Bbm
When the fire subsides
        Ab               Db
And it rains in your head?

Verse 4:
Gb         Ab             Db
Did you leave your mark?
Gb           Ab         Db
Can they catch your spark?
Gb        Ab            Db
Did you trade your torch
        Ab        Bbm
For a silver fork
        Ab           Db
And a life in the dark?

Chorus:
Gb             Ab
Can you be still?
            Bbm           Ab             Gb
There's a void only silence can fill
                                Ab
Where you are is all that's real
                Bbm         Ab
When you're there, remember how it
Gb
feels
Gb              Ab
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
  Bbm             Ab         Gb
Alone, in your city on a hill
Gb              Ab
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
  Bbm             Ab         Gb
Alone, in your city on a hill
