                                              [Verse 1]
                                              C G C G
                                              I've been seeing lonely people in crowded rooms
                                              C G Em D
                                              Covering their old heartbreaks with new tattoos
                                              C G
                                              It's all about smoke screens and cigarettes
                                              C G
                                              Looking through low lights at silhouettes
                                              C G Em D
                                              But all I see is lonely people in crowded rooms
                                              [Chorus]
                                              C G
                                              This city's gonna break my heart
                                              Em D
                                              This city's gonna love me then leave me alone
                                              C G
                                              This city's got me chasing stars
                                              Em D
                                              It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home
                                              C G Em D
                                              Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
                                              C G
                                              This city's gonna break my heart
                                              Em D
                                              She's always gonna break your heart, oh
                                              C G Em D
                                              [Verse 2]
                                              C G C G
                                              I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt
                                              C G Em D
                                              And I remember nights when art didn't feel like work
                                              C G
                                              She wakes up at noon and she's out 'til three
                                              C G
                                              She leaves her perfume all over me
                                              C G Em D
                                              But I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt
                                              [Chorus]
                                              C G
                                              This city's gonna break my heart
                                              Em D
                                              This city's gonna love me then leave me alone
                                              C G
                                              This city's got me chasing stars
                                              Em D
                                              It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home
                                              C G Em D
                                              Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
                                              C G
                                              This city's gonna break my heart
                                              Em D

                                              C G
                                              She got a hold on me
                                              Em D
                                              She got me wrapped round her finger

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
