A                                     D
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above
                                      A
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
                                 D
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
                                         A
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
E                                      D
And you feel a strange attraction oohh oohh
                         A
The air is vibrant and electrified
 E                                         A
Welcome to me here I am, my arms are open wide

Somewhere in the middle of the never-ending noise
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
People come and take their chances
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose a lot
Come, make your own contribution to this melting pot

Chorus:
A                   E 
I'm the street you walk
                  D 
The language you talk I am the city
A                 E 
The skyline is is me
            D 
And the energy I am the city
A           E                       G
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
              F#m                        A
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
         D      F#m E             C#m          D
And the people the air that your breathing is me
              Dm              A
Yes I am the city you let me be

People feed me with their lives, I am a hungry soul
And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night
Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet
But come the night they will be dancing in the neon light
Dazzled by the crazy magic
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf
And in the wind, if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh

Chorus

D             Dm           A
I am the city You let me be
D
I am the city

The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells and the turmoil of cars
And the people the air that you breath
(Coming through the cloud)
Your looking at me from above
Im a revelation spreading out before your eyes
The street that you walk,the language you talk
I am the city,yea i am the city you let me be me

And you find me beautiful and irresistable
A giant creature that seems to forever grow in size
(the skyline is me)
And the energy I am the city  You let me be me
Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noise
There is a pulse a steady rhythm of a heart that beats
I am the street you walk the language you talk
I am the city,yea i am the city you let me be me
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
I am the city
