[Intro]
F   -   Bb x2
F   F/A Bb x2
 
[Verse]
F               F/A     Bb                                     F    F/A Bb
Did I tell you 'bout the time you failed to recognize my heart?
F               F/A     Bb                                     F    F/A Bb
I couldn't find a way to betray you in my arms
Bb         F            C
You held a beauty but I didn't care
Bb                  F                C
For you parked your markings on your arm there
 
F              F/A     Bb                              F    F/A Bb
Did I tell you that inspite of you I sealed my fate?
F                   F/A   Bb                           F    F/A Bb
And that I held you in my gaze to finally pace my gain
Bb             F         C
And though it always was away from you
Bb          F              C
Oh I can't deny you like I used to do
 
[Chorus]
Dm          Bb                        F     C
So cradle me now in your arms, London city
Dm          Bb                        F     C
Listen it's time to forgive and forget
Dm         Bb                       F       C
It's funny how you defied something in me
Bb         F                C
But wait a minute, I've not finished yet
 
[Verse 2]
F               F/A     Bb                                   F    F/A Bb
Do you remember when you called me out of Castlereagh Place?
F               F/A   Bb                                     F    F/A Bb
How you swore to me a future through the troubles I'd face?
Bb           F              C
That broken promise that we feel and tame
Bb           F                C
Oh but now I realize you were not to blame
 
[Chorus]
Dm          Bb                        F     C
So cradle me now in your arms, London city
Dm          Bb                        F     C
Surely it's time to forgive and forget
Dm         Bb                       F       C
Yeah It's funny how you defied something in me
Bb         F                C
But wait a minute, I'm not finished yet
 
[Bridge]
Dm            Bb            F                          C
Lost friends, River Thames, Caledonian Road, Westminster
Dm                            Bb
St. Paul's Cathedral, and the round parts of the Regal
         F                           C
And that bumbling buffoon, the Prime Minister
        Dm                       Bb
And the East End where there are hard men
           F                           C
Where they fight for good reason every now and then
          Dm                                 Bb
In their nods and their smiles, they say I'm so rarified
    F                             C
I'm shining like a beacon in the evening light would
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   Bb          F                   C
It all left me strong-eyed like an alley cat
    Bb       F               C
But then you fed me and I remember that
     Bb             F                C
So I guess what I'm saying is you're not that bad
 
[Chorus]
Dm          Bb                        F     C
So cradle me now in your arms, London city
Dm          Bb                        F     C
Surely it's time to forgive and forget
Dm         Bb                       F       C
Yeah It's funny how you defied something in me
Bb         F                C
But wait a minute, I'm not finished yet
