Em                       G
If I ever had a wish in the whole world
Em                                        G
I would’ve listened to my brother when he spoke to me
Em                                  G
And I never would’ve played with my conscience
       Em                          G
In the fields where I was in their company

Em                        G
But You gave me wings and I used them
           Em            G
I used them, I used them on my youth
Em                        G
And You gave me wings and I used them
          Em                 Am
I used them, and I won’t lose them

Em                    Am
Now I found my feet, count to 1, 2, 3
G                           Em
And I’m taking off tonight, now I’m free
Em                    Am
As I walk my feet on the cold concrete
G                 Am
And I and I and I

Chorus:

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

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

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, I don’t wanna lose them
I don’t wanna lose them

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

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

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

THE END!
