City Of Roses Guitar Chords Sufjan Stevens

[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D                G                       A       G
 A break in the clouds is a break in my day
  A                 G    D
Face the sun of my salvation
D             G                           A        G
As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own feet
 A                         G    D
Fly by the wings of your creation

[Chorus 1]
G                    D               A
                       On the top of your head, there is a poem
                   Bm                G
The thought in my head, oh God only knows
               D                 A
As everything else will disappoint you
G               D        A                  Bm                    G
 I used to be young and bold, but now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old
                 D                   A
I followed the light to the City of Roses

A G D

[Verse 2]
D                     G                  A       G
 It's a little-known fact that I can't cope
A                    G    D
I'm the champion of repression
D              G                     A       G
I've had it enough with the east coast
      A                      G    D
I'll die by the wings of my ambition

[Chorus 2]
G            D                  A
 The city I left, the city of throes
                 Bm                G
The one that I loved, the city of hope
               D               A
As everything else will disappoint you
G               D        A                  Bm                    G
I used to be young and bold, but now I'm of age, I'm getting so old
                 D                   A
I followed the light to the City of Roses

[Outro]
D                G                       A       G
A break in the clouds is a break in my day
A                 G    D
