Verse 1

Dm You were thrown into a tin can, Dm and you learned how to beg and borrow Dm And you grew into a thin man, Dm In the land of success, sin and sorrow C Now you're sleeping in a suitcase C With a pill bottle for a pillow G When you're hanging by a shoelace G It can get to be hard to swallow

Verse 2

Dm When you're spinning on the subway Dm Naked lights dancing on the river Dm No you're never gonna leave her Dm Though you think someday that you might forgive her C Slipping into a slow dive C Cold black water makes you follow G Swimming into a spiral F Still you're singing

Chorus

Dm C Shine, electric city, shine Am In the cool of your emptiness G Around the curve of your spine Dm C Come on and shine, electric city, shine Am Like six thousand wings in the sky G Over the scene of the crime

Verse 3

Dm When you come to an ending Dm Never reaching no conclusion Dm And you're sick of bending Dm And nursing every fresh contusion C When you're lying in the soft arms C Of a silent ambulance that's speeding G And you're trying to tell the doctor G that it's only a broken heart

Verse 4

Dm You don't have to be a soldier to fight Dm But you'd better have a killer in you Dm You don't have to be a poet to die Dm It's the little things that k**l you C Everybody gets a bad break C A little hit of pain and sorrow G Just forget about tomorrow F Keep on singing

Chorus

Dm C Shine, electric city, shine Am From the back of the cold beyond G Out to the end of the line Dm C Come on and shine, electric city, shine Am Like the sun in a hurricane's eye G Diamonds drowning in brine

Outro

Dm Come on and shine Dm Shine Dm Shine Dm Shine
