G  Am  F   (x2)



🎸 Verse :
 G                Am                 F
Walking in London like I did as a child
            G               Am         F
I feel the cool air on the back of my neck
        G                 Am                    F
I am passing through the neighbourhood where I grew up
                         G     Am
It doesn't feel like it used to
                      F
Doesn't feel like it used to
G       Am          F
  Did I try to control you?
G              Am         F
  Yeah
I get lost in my own world
G           Am                      F
  So I go through all the words I ever said
        G              Am            F
And it feels like the world is crashing down

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
G        Am           F
  Let's light up the city
                               G
Yeah, the buildings ain't so pretty
                Am           F
Let's have the time of our lives

🎸 Chorus:
                   G         F
We've never been closer than
                   G      C  G F
We've never been closer than  now
   G                   F
Closer than we ever dreamed of
                   G      C  G F
We've never been closer than  now
