Intro: Eadd9 B Eadd9 B
 
Verse 1:
                 Eadd9         B                 Eadd9 B
I've been seeing lonely people in crowded rooms
               Eadd9            B               Abm Gb
Covering their old heartbreaks with new tattoos
               Eadd9             B
It's all about smoke screens and cigarettes
                Eadd9             B
Looking through low lights at silhouettes
                 Eadd9         B               Abm Gb
But all I see is lonely people in crowded rooms
 
Chorus:
                  Eadd9          B
This city's gonna break my heart
                  Abm                     Gb
This city's gonna love me then leave me alone
                   Eadd9        B
This city's got me chasing stars
                   Abm                           Gb
It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home
             Eadd9 B            Abm        Gb
Am I getting closer  to knowing where I belong?
                  Eadd9           B
This city's gonna break my heart
                   Abm               Gb
She's always gonna break your heart,  oh

I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt
               Eadd9           B                     Abm Gb
And I remember nights when art didn't feel like work
                Eadd9               B
She wakes up at noon and she's out 'til three
                    Eadd9   B
She leaves her perfume all over me
               Eadd9         B                   Abm Gb
But I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt
