City Lights chords by The White Stripes

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

A
I want to grab a stranger’s hand and
A
Hold it as tightly as I can and
A
I will tell by their reaction if
A
They’re like me or if I am crazy
A
When the lights of the city hit my
A
Eyes on the plane looking out the window
A

I am consumed by a comforting notion
A
That you are there and
A
I am welcome
A
If our miles have added up to
A
A giant pile of distance that we
A
Cannot reach past, climb, or conquer
A
Will you dig a
A
Tunnel to me?


Interlude:
A

Verse 2:
A
Every move suspends an action
A
Any attempt to engage will push away
A
What you want becomes a magnet
A
Opposing poles
A
Never meeting
A
Can you combine a friend and mother?
A
Can you blend a dad and brother?
A
Must we have to pick one or the other?
A
Will we know this or always wonder?
A
(Always wonder)
A
You can tell what you’ve done to me
A
To be seen in hell from your place in a tree
A
Always helping
A
Ever loving
A
But will you always
A
Be above me


Interlude:
A

Verse 3:
A
I won’t ignore nor will not forget
A
The kindness that’s been done to me
A
You are the surest and safest bet that
A
I could ask for
A
So I’m asking
A
Soon we will be side by side the
A
Plane will land and the wings will glide
A
The bags in hand and
A
The car will drive
A
Into you
A
I will arrive
A
By your side
A
By your side
