The District Sleeps Alone Tonight chords by Birdy

Chords with lyrics

Intro: C majorC FF A minorAm (4x)

C majorC    FF   A minorAm  A minorAm
 Smeared black ink
C majorC   FF      A minorAm
 Your face is ashen and I'm barely listening
C majorC  FF    A minorAm
 To last demands
C majorC          FF
 I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
A minorAm           A minorAm
 What's buried underneath


 C majorC   FF G+G G+G
 Where I am
 C majorC   FF G+G G+G
 Where I am

   C majorC  FF A minorAm  A minorAm
 I'll wear my badge
C majorC           FF         A minorAm
 A augmentedA vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
C majorC  FF        A minorAm
 That tells your new friends
C majorC    FF
 I am a visitor here
A minorAm
 I am not permanent
C majorC    FF  A minorAm
 And the only thing
C majorC  FF   A minorAm
 Keeping me dry is


C majorC    FF   G+G       G+G
Where  I   am      (In this gaudy apartment complex)
  You seem so out of context

C majorC      FF    G+G       G+G
Where    I    am      (Explaining that I am just visiting)
  A augmentedA stranger with your door key

C majorC      FF   G+G    G+G
Where    I   am   (why I was the one worth leaving)
  And I am finally seeing
 FF             C majorC
(Why I was the one worth leaving)

A minorAm G+G  FF
 D.C. sleeps alone tonight
A minorAm G+G  FF        D MajorD
 D.C. sleeps alone tonight


C majorC    FF   G+G       G+G
Where  I   am      (In this gaudy apartment complex)
  You seem so out of context

C majorC      FF    G+G      G+G
Where    I    am      (Explaining that I am just visiting)
  A augmentedA stranger with your door key

C majorC      FF   G+G    G+G              C majorC
Where    I   am   (why I was the one worth leaving)
  And I am finally seeing
 FF              C majorC
(Why I was the one worth leaving)


A minorAm      FF        G+G       (DmDm)         A minorAm
 The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
        FF      G+G           A minorAm
 And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
A minorAm     FF     G+G        FF        A minorAm
 And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
G+G       FF       C majorC
 Why I was the one worth leaving
G+G       FF       C majorC
 Why I was the one worth leaving
G+G       FF       C majorC
 Why I was the one worth leaving
