         Am                            C
And if I ever had a wish in the whole world
           Em                               D
I would've listened to my brother when he spoke to me
      Am                      C
And I never would've played with my conscience
        Em	                           D
And it feels what the way I want in their company

But you gave me wings and I used them
I used them, I used them on my youth
And you gave me wings and I used them
I used them, and I won’t lose them

       C                   Em
Now I found my feet down to 1, 2, 3
         G	      C
And I'm taking off tonight, now I'm free
                          Em
As I walk my feet on the cold dark green
    G
And I and I and I

Chorus
       Am      C             Em      D
I can feel my dreams when I’m in my city
I fall on my knees for my, for my city
We’re going off the dream in my, in my city
                       Am C
And that's where I'll stay
                       Em
And that's where I'll stay
       D
In my city

Rolling down the streets in my new town
With the lights blinding and my heart weighed down
I think I’ll get a job with stealing people’s thunder
But the folks back home, I’ll make them proud

But you gave me wings and I used them
I used them, I used them on my youth
Yeah, you gave me wings and I used them
I used them, and I won’t lose them
(I don't wanna lose them)

Chorus:
I can feel my dreams when I’m in my city
I fall on my knees for my, for my city
We’re going off the dream in my, in my city
And that’s where I’ll stay
And that’s where I’ll stay
In my city

Shoulders ache for wanted wings
My city shakes, the fear in me

Chorus:
I can feel my dreams when I’m in my city
I fall on my knees for my, for my city
We’re going off the dream in my, in my city
And that’s where I’ll stay
And that’s where I’ll stay
In my city
