Dm7              G7
This view used to bring
Cmaj7          Am
a smile to my face
Dm7              G7
Lately it's done nothing but
Cmaj7            Am
Remind me of the way

Verse:
Dm7             G7
The way that you used to
Cmaj7         Am    A7
Give me butterflies
Dm7         G7
Took me 21 days to
         Cmaj7   Am     A7
Walk our former paradise
Fmaj7              Fm
Paradise, bu-bu-bu-day duh

Chorus:
Cmaj7          A7
Step by step, brick by brick
      Dm7             G7
I'm reclaiming what's mine
    Cmaj7             A7
This city is way too small
        Dm7              Fm
To give away to just one guy


Cmaj7             Am        A7
Street by street, breath by breath
         Dm7             G7
From the Back Bay to the sky
C                  C7     A7
I'm taking back my city
    Dm7     G7      C
I'm taking back my life

Verse:
Dm7   G7
The café
Cmaj7              Am          A7
Where you asked me for my name
Dm7             G7
The bookstore we spent
           Cmaj7            Am    A7
Five hours hiding from the rain
Dm7
It's like a game of Monopoly
      G7
Except I steal back all my property
    Cmaj7             Am     A7
And leave you on the ground
      Dm7
And I know that I'll see you one day on the street
       G7                                    Cmaj7              Am   A7
With a girl on your arm but I won't let that keep me from this town


Dm7
From this town
Fm
From this town, oh

Chorus:
Cmaj7          A7
Step by step, brick by brick
      Dm7             G7
I'm reclaiming what's mine
    Cmaj7             A7
This city is way too small
        Dm7              Fm
To give away to just one guy


Cmaj7             Am        A7
Street by street, breath by breath
         Dm7             Bb
From the Back Bay to the sky
C                  C7     A7
I'm taking back my city
    Dm7     G7      C     C7
I'm taking back my life
    Dm7            Fm     Cmaj7
I'm taking back my city
