Urban Love Song

G   C   Em   G
D   D7   C   G

[Verse 1]
    C          G             C              G
She lies there sleeping, her hair's in a mess
         Em         G           Em
She's got cheap red wine on the front of her dress
     D                D7
I suppose in a way, I love her no less
      C       G              C         G
We've all got our own way of loving, I guess

[Verse 2]
      C        G            C       G
We're two of a kind, we get by that way
Em         G           Em
Neither is waiting for the other to say
  D                    D7
I love you I need you, maybe it's true
   C            G          C       G        D     C   G
It goes without saying, it gets us through

[Verse 3]
        C       G         C      G
So I'll come to you once again tonight
  Em          G               Em
I always look better when you turn out the light
   D                        D7
Pretend that I'm special, romantic and true
         C           G             C             G
And I'll write you a poem and I'll give it to you

[Verse 4]
   C             G      C          G
Pretend that I'm Byron, Shelley or Keats
    Em         G         Em
Who plays with words and subtle deceits
   D                    D7
Pretend that I'm Romeo, troubled in love
    C             G          C      G
Who gives you his heart in a golden glove

[Chorus]
C
This is my town, this is my place
         G
I've got midnight bars written over my face
           C
I've got a million miles staring out of my eyes
      G                                         C
I can play with the truth, but I can't tell you lies
         D
Oh, it's hard and it's cruel, but it happens to be true
  C            G       D       G
I haven't that much to give to you
C       G         D
But whatever I've got, you can take it for free
C               G            D         G
Whatever you've got, that's enough for me

[Instrumental]
G    Em    D    C   G

[Verse 5]
   C              G            C             G
Pretend that this room, on the cheap side of town
     Em         G                Em
Is a place far away, where we'll never be found
          D                          D7
Where the cry of the seagull and the sound of the sea
       C         G      C           G
Come together to make a sweet symphony

[Verse 6]
  C             G           C          G
Instead of this town that's covered in grime
     Em   G        Em
With neon rainbows beating out time
          D                      D7
Where the streets are slick with winter rain
            C      G            C     G
And there's no way out to start over again

[Chorus]
C
This is my town, this is my place
         G
I've got midnight bars written over my face
           C
I've got a million miles staring out of my eyes
      G                                         C
I can play with the truth, but I can't tell you lies
         D
Oh, it's hard and it's cruel, but it happens to be true
  C            G       D       G
I haven't that much to give to you
C       G         D
But whatever I've got, you can take it for free
C               G            D         G
Whatever you've got, that's enough for me
