Chord/Tab song: Top of the City

From 1993's "The Red Shoes"


[Asus2]One more step to the [Bsus4]top of the city[C#m7]

Where j[Asus2]ust a couple of [Bsus4]pigeons are living[C#m7]

[Asus2]Up on the angel's [Bsus4]shoulders[Asus2]

[B] [F#m/B] I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but

[Amaj7/B] It looks like Hell down there

[B] These streets have never been paved with gold

[Amaj7/B] Welcome to the loneliest city in the world

[Asus2]It's no [Bsus4]good for you [C#m7]baby

[Asus2]It's no [Bsus4]good for you [C#m7]now

[Asus2]Keep looking up for the [Bsus4]ladder


[C#m]I don't [G#m/B]know if you'll [A]love me for it

But [C#m]I don't [G#m/B]think we should [A]suffer this

There's [C#m]just one t[G#m/B]hing we can [A]do about it

[Asus2]Take me up to the [Bsus4]top of the city[C#m7]

[Asus2]Take me up to the [Bsus4]top of the [C#m7]city

[Asus2]Take me up to the [Bsus4]top of the ci[C#m7]ty

[Asus2]And put me up on the [Bsus4]angel's should[Asus2]ers


[B] [F#m/B] See how that building there is nearly built

[Amaj7/B] There's a big fire over on the north of the ci[B]ty

I see you walking down the street with her

[Amaj7/B] I see your lights going on and off

[Asus2]She's no [Bsus4]good for you [C#m7]baby

[Asus2]She's no [Bsus4]good for you [C#m7]now

[Asus2]Look I'm here with the [Bsus4]ladder


[C#m]I don't [G#m/B]know if you [A]love me or not

But [C#m]I don't [G#m/B]think we should [A]ever suffer

There's [C#m]just one t[G#m/B]hing we can [A]do about this

[Asus2]Take me up to the [Bsus4]top of the city

[Asus2]Take me up to the [Bsus4]top of the [C#m7]city

[Asus2]Up to the highest [Bsus4]point of the ci[C#m7]ty

[Asus2]One more step to the [Bsus4]top of the [C#m7]city

[Asus2]Put me up on the [Bsus4]angel's shoulders


[Asus2]I don't [B]mind if it's [C#m]dangerous

[Asus2]I don't [B]mind if it's [C#m]raining[B/C#]

[Asus2]Take me [B]up to the [C#m]top of the ci[B/C#]ty

And [Asus2]put me up on the [Bsus4]angel's shoul[C#m7]ders

[Asus2]Take me up to the [Bsus4]top of the ci[C#m7]ty

Mmm [Asus2]yes, one [Bsus4]more st[C#m7]ep to the top of the city

[Asus2] [Bsus4] [Asus2]
And put me up on the angel's should[B]ers[B9][Amaj7/B]
