I figured this out from a live acoustic version so I'm not totally sure if the full
is the same but this is good enough to strum along to.
 
Capo 3
G
 
G                        Em7
The city called me so I came
Am                                D
It isn't mine to question what it said
G                                 Em7
I sleep until the point when I'm awake
Am                                   D
I walk until there's nothing left to tread
G                                 Em7
And everyone was looking for an answer
Am                               D
And everyone was waiting for a break
G                                   Em7
I came and I was bored of it soon after
      Am
But I had
D7                         Am
nowhere to go and so I stayed
D7                            Am
I dreamed a lifetime of this place
D7                           G
It seemed an awful thing to waste
 
C/D/G/G/C/D
 
G                                          Em7
Oh, the morning fills my mouth up with decay
Am                                  D
I like it, it reminds me how you taste
G                                     Em7
Sometimes I feel you rising up behind me like the wind
Am                           D
But I still try to look away
G                                    Em7
What will you look like when you're old?
(What will you look like when you're old?)
Am                               D
What will I do if I don't know you?
(What will I do if I don't know you?)
G                       Em7
I guess that I decided not to ask the day
            Am
I took the road
D7                        Am
Down to the city as it called
D7                          Am
Sun making silhouettes of gauze
D7                      G
I don't remember you at all
 
C/D/G/G/C/D/G/C/D
G                         Em7
The city called me and I came
Am                        D
It isn't mine to question why
G                                  Em7
Sometimes the clouds will part ahead, I hear your name
Am                        D
It's like a choir in the sky
G                                   Em7
What will you look like when you're old?
(What will you look like when you're old?)
Am                              D
What will I do if I don't know you?
(What will I do if I don't know you?)
G                         Em7                        Am
I guess that I decided not to ask the day I took the road
D7                        Am
Down to the city as it called
D7                         Am
Sun making silhouettes of gauze
D7                                          G
I don't remember you, I don't remember you at all
 
C/D/G/G x2
C/D/Am
 
D7                          Am
They pulled a human from my waist
D7                             Am
It had your mouth, it had your face
D7                                                G
I would have kept it, I would have kept it if I'd stayed.
