Empire chords by Lucy Spraggan

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

A
Another night in New York
E
I find it hard to stand tall
F#m7                            D
The skyscrapers, they do just fine
A
Another stage, a spotlight
E
The empty streets, the late nights
F#m7                            D
They ask me why I waste my time
A                                       E
'Cause I wanna build a place, an empire
F#m7                            D
It's taking shape, it's worth the wait
A

I see my name in those stars
E
Walking down the boulevard
F#m7                            D
I've believed it all my life
A
Which billboard would I choose
E
In the land of the Delta Blues?
F#m7                            D
I know I have to get this right
A                                       E
'Cause I wanna build a place, an empire
F#m7                            D
It's taking shape, it's worth the wait
A                               E
'Cause we're gonna build a place, an empire
F#m7                            D       A
I always believed it was waiting for me

F#m                             E
They said the label might come to my show tonight
A                       D
And this feels like my time to shine
F#m
I laid it on the line
E
And something's changed tonight
A                       D
I'll be standing tall this time

        A                       E
I wanna build a world, an empire
F#m                     D
It's taking shape, it's worth the wait
A                                       E
'Cause we're gonna build the world, an empire
F#m                     D       A
I always believed it was waiting for me
E       F#m     D
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
        A                       E
I went and built a world, an empire
F#m                             D
I always believed it was waiting for me
