There Is A Spell Over This City

C#                           A 
They made the Sun rise once again 
                                  E 
And put the wolves back in their cages 
                           B 
I've been asleep for many days 
                    C# 
Not wide awake for ever 
                            A 
Seems like nothing can get through 
                              E 
This grey lid that they call heaven 
                          B 
Missing sunshine missing you 
                            C# 
Feeling worn out bound and beaten 
                       A 
All the snow makes me believe 
                    E 
A sunny morning in December 
                             B 
It's always been the way for me 
                       C# 
For just as long as I remember 
                        A 
And soon the city will awake 
                     E 
Send out an army of pretenders 
                       B 
I plead a dirty black machine 
                        C# 
A race that will go on forever 

              A 
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah 
 E            B 
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah  2x 

C#                             A 
There is a black cloud coming down 
                                    E 
You know that this place smells of pity 
                           B 
Too many vultures in this town 
                            C# 
There is a spell over this city 
                          A 
Too much violence on the streets 
                      E 
Only bad news in the paper 
                            B 
Smiling snakes are wealthy thieves 
                            C# 
Too many soldiers too much hatred 

              A 
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah 
 E            B 
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah  2x 

C#                      A 
Now the wolves are out again 
                                E 
There's a shark close to these beaches 
                          B 
Dark and heavy falls the rain 
                                C# 
And all the souls are mute are speechless 
                           A 
So many things I'll never see 
                                E 
And all the truths they never told me 

                        B 
What is left for me to believe 
                           C# 
When the world and you is burning? 
                              A 
There is a bird trapped in my chest 
                           E 
And my restless bones are aching 
                           B 
I am a one track speeding train 
                      C# 
I am a mind ready to cave in 
                        A 
I am the centre of the earth 
                           E 
I am too fast and I'm too lazy 
                               B 
I cannot breathe for all this dirt 
                           C# 
But in the end you always save me
