Your right
       G

night night
Embers
     G
and neon signs paint
           Dm  F
up black sky sky

Chorus:
C          G 
Airplanes cut
through the clouds
     F
Like angels can fly
we'll never die
C        G 
Silence cut through
the night Like
 F
screams that are
on fire rising up
higher I've got
Dm
something to prove
nothing to lose
         F
In this city
in this city

All of this time
I questioned myself,
I never could wait
Looking for signs
Not asking for help,
I know it's too late

A love lost and buried here,
it comes to life, life
Make-believe worlds make us
all feel alive, 'live

Chorus

Am
I don't ever wanna
wait for this I
know that I was
made for this
F        C
I won't fade into
 G   Am
dark I'm not gonna
say that I'm sorry
gonna see the end
of this story
F        C
I won't fade
      G   A#
into darkness

Chorus:
Airplanes cut through the clouds
Like angels can fly (We'll never die)
Sirens cut through the night
Like screams set on fire, rising up higher
I've got something to prove, nothing to lose
In this city, in this city, oh-oh-oh-oh
