A#        D#            Cm           Fm  Cm A#
Oh, how i wish i could drag you down here,
A#          D#        Cm           Fm Cm A#
Pull these feet far from the ground
A#        D#                   Cm           Fm Cm A#
Because this, this city ain't no friend of mine
            D#
Ain't no friend.

D#         A#
All I can do
            Cm                         G#
When the tracks stop at the final destination
D#                A#
Is just push on through,
     Cm                               G#
The weariness and silences of such a crowded
situation here.

All I can do
When every brick, every bar, every elegance I see
I see her face
Is just push on, just push on through
These embers are memories that float from the fire
From the fire of this place

Chorus:
A#                      G#
So don't give up on me now,
Cm        D#                   G#
Oh these legs that'll walk me home.
D#                             A#  G#
Because it's only concrete and cars,
D#                            A#  G#
It's only sirens and missing stars,
Cm                A#  G#
It's only whiskey and disregard
        Gm             G#
In the smallest hours here,
              D#
when i feel alone.

All I can do
When these lights
They haunt me like orchids in a graveyard here
Is just push on, just push on through
These faces of dust and stone
The dirt and bone of loss
Loss is here
Oh we're lost here

Chorus:
So don't give up on me now
Oh these legs that'll walk me home
Because it's only concrete and cars oh
It's only sirens and missing stars
Oh it's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when I feel alone

And I hope Paris is as beautiful as I've been told
And that everything you do is galvanised in gold
