Tone: [C]
[Intro]
[C]
[Verse1]
[C] A break in the c[F]clouds is a break in my d[G]day [F]
Fa[G]ce the sun of my s[F]alvat[C]ion
[C]As Hathaway Jo[F]Jones would have made it his o[G]own feet [F]
F[G]ly by the wings of your cr[F]eatio[C]n
 
[Chorus1]
[F] On the top of your h[C]head, there is a p[G]poem
The thought in my h[Am]head, oh God only k[F]knows
As everything e[C]else will disappoin[G]disappoint you
[F] I used to be yo[C]ung and b[G]old,
but now I'm af[Am]raid, I'm getting so o[F]ld
I followed the li[C]light to the City of R[G]Roses
 
[Instrumental]
[C] [F] [G] [F] [G] [F] [C]
 
[Verse2]
[C] It's a little-known f[F]fact that I can't co[G]cope [F]
[G]I'm the champion of r[F]repres[C]epression
[C]I've had it eno[F]enough with the east coas[G]coast [F]
I'll d[G]ie by the wings of my a[F]mbiti[C]on
 
[Chorus2]
[F] The city I l[C]left, the city of th[G]throes
The one that I lo[Am]loved, the city of h[F]hope
As everything e[C]else will disappo[G]disappoint you
[F]I used to be you[C]young and bo[G]bold, but now I'm of [Am]age, I'm getting so ol[F]d
I followed the li[C]light to the City of R[G]Roses
 
[Outro]
[C]A break in the cl[F]clouds is a break in my da[G]day [F]
[G] [F] [C]
