Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D F#m Em D
D F#m Em A

Verse:
            D                          F#m
Down in the Crocodile Bar where me and Gareth went too far
      Em                      D
And I miss him now he's gone away
            D                     F#m
Over in the flash hotel I see the wedding bells
           Em                         D
And really hope they have a beautiful day
       G                              A
Then I saw there'd be war, frightened people by the score
              Em
Lift up thine eyes to the sky
               G
Here comes the summertime
          A         D
You are a friend of mine

Chorus:
             F#m
My love flows, my heart grows
Em           D
 I'm in your hands
D        F#m
 The city, it owns me
Em              A
 They shall not pass

Verse:
           D               F#m
I'm in the corner shop, my mate Paul stops me
        Em                        D
Says "I see you're in the paper today"
             D                F#m
And when the bailiff calls, I shout down the hall
         Em                            D
"Ain't nobody lives round here by that name"
      G                          A
And I see in a dream, a thousand people in the street
       Em
All in line, putting out fires
           G
Moving the masonry
          A                                           D
Trying to help each other recover from what they have seen

Chorus:
             F#m
My love flows, my heart grows
Em           D
 I'm in your hands
D        F#m
 The city, it owns me
Em              A
 They shall not pass

Bridge:
    C
And hey
                     D
The air's thick with memories
         C
So let's make some new ones
             D   F#m      Em  A
Just you and me       Ooo-ooh-ooooh

Instrumental:
D  F#m  Em  A

Chorus:
D             F#m
 My love flows, my heart grows
Em           D
 I'm in your hands
D        F#m
 The city, it owns me
Em              A
 They shall not pass
D             F#m
 My love flows, my heart grows
Em           D
 I'm in your hands
D               F#m
 I've been there, I don't dare
Em              A
 They shall not pass
