[Intro]
*one strum per chord
Dm7 G7
This view used to bring
Cmaj7 Am
A smile to my face
Dm7 G7
Lately it's done nothing but
Cmaj7 Am
Remind me of the way
[Verse]
Dm7 G7
The way that you used to
Cmaj7 Am A7
Give me butterflies
Dm7 G7
Took me 21 days to
Cmaj7 Am A7
Walk our former paradise
Fmaj7 Fm
Paradise, bu-bu-bu-day duh
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 A7
Step by step, brick by brick
Dm7 G7
I'm reclaiming what's mine
Cmaj7 A7
This city is way too small
Dm7 Fm
To give away to just one guy
Cmaj7 Am A7
Street by street, breath by breath
Dm7 G7
From the Back Bay to the sky
C C7 A7
I'm taking back my city
Dm7 G7 C
I'm taking back my life
[Verse]
Dm7 G7
The café
Cmaj7 Am A7
Where you asked me for my name
Dm7 G7
The bookstore we spent
Cmaj7 Am A7
Five hours hiding from the rain
Dm7
It's like a game of Monopoly
G7
Except I steal back all my property
Cmaj7 Am A7
And leave you on the ground
Dm7
And I know that I'll see you one day on the street
G7 Cmaj7 Am A7
With a girl on your arm but I won't let that keep me from this town
Dm7
From this town
Fm
From this town, oh
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 A7
Step by step, brick by brick
Dm7 G7
I'm reclaiming what's mine
Cmaj7 A7
This city is way too small
Dm7 Fm
To give away to just one guy
Cmaj7 Am A7
Street by street, breath by breath
Dm7 Bb
From the Back Bay to the sky
C C7 A7
I'm taking back my city
Dm7 G7 C C7
I'm taking back my life
Dm7 Fm Cmaj7
I'm taking back my city
