Intro: G
'[G]Where you [Am]from?' he [Em]asks
'[G]Oh no, that [C]city I always [G]pass'
He [G]told me he [Am]heard it's so hard to [Em]last
On a [G]rising star, that [C]seems to be sinking [G]fast.
The [G]bad news [Am]travels here so [Em]fast
While the [G]tales of the good [C]never will reach the [G]mass
But I [G]live here [Am]among the broken [Em]glass
It's [G]not what you see, it's [C]how you will make it [G]last
Em G C x2
(Chorus:)
From the [Em]late light after [G]all the day is gone
When [C]everybody leaves and the trouble comes along
There's [Em]not quite a [G]welcome sign aglow
It's a [C]rough town man, a rough town I know
The [Em]sound bites of the [G]dying city noise
Are a [C]fraction of the action that no one here enjoys
If you [Em]hold tight and you [G]listen past the lows
It's a [C]rough town now, it's my rough town I know
'[G]Hold your [Am]tongue, man' I [Em]say
'Cause it's [G]easy to scoff and [C]underesti[G]mate
Yeah [G]All the [Am]things you can't [Em]relate to
Is the [G]fabric I keep my [C]memories sewn [G]to
[Em] [G]
