The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Chords

(ver. 2)
Birdy
[Intro]
C  Dm11  Am7  Am7
C  Dm11  Am7  Am7
C  Dm11  Am7  Am7
C  Dm11  Am7  Am7

[Verse 1]
 C       Dm11  Am7   Am7
 Smeared black ink
C      Dm11        Am7             Am7
 Your face is ashen and I'm barely listening
C    Dm11     Am7   Am7
 To last demands
C                    Dm11
 I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
Am7            Am7
 What's buried underneath

[Chorus]
 Am    Fmaj7   G  G
Where I      am
 Am    Fmaj7   G  G  F  F  F  F
Where I      am

[Verse 2]
       C   Dm11  Am7   Am7
 I'll wear my badge
C                      Dm11            Am7        Am7
 A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
C     Dm11     Am7       Am7
 Tells your new friends
C        Dm11
 I am a visitor here
Am7        Am7
 I am not permanent
C        Dm11   Am7    Am7
 And the only thing
 C   Dm11  Am7    Am7
 Keeping me dry is

[Chorus]
 Am             Fmaj7             G                  G
Where        I                 am
   (You seem so out of context      in this gaudy apartment complex)
 Am             Fmaj7                 G                   G
Where       I                      am
    (A stranger with your door key,     explaining that I'm just visiting)
 Am          Fmaj7            G                G          Fmaj7     Fmaj7
Where     I                am
   (And I am fin'ly seeing      why I was the one worth leaving)
Fmaj7            Fmaj7     C      C      C      C
(Why I was the one worth leaving)

Am7 Cmaj7 F              F
D.C.      sleeps alone tonight
Am7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7         Fmaj7      Fmaj7      Fmaj7
D.C.      sleeps alone        tonight

[Chorus]
 Am             Fmaj7             G                  G
Where        I                 am
   (You seem so out of context      in this gaudy apartment complex)
 Am             Fmaj7                 G                   G
Where       I                      am
    (A stranger with your door key,     explaining that I'm just visiting)
 Am          Fmaj7            G                G          Fmaj7     Fmaj7
Where     I                am
   (And I am fin'ly seeing      why I was the one worth leaving)
Fmaj7            Fmaj7     C      C      Cmaj7      C
(Why I was the one worth leaving)

[Bridge]
Am7            Fmaj7         G                  G
 The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
Am7             Fmaj7        G           G
 And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
Am7       Fmaj7        G              G            Fmaj7     Fmaj7
 And I am fin'ly seeing why I was the one worth leaving
Fmaj7          Fmaj7       C      C
 Why I was the one worth leaving
C              C           Fmaj7  Fmaj7
 Why I was the one worth leaving
Fmaj7          Fmaj7       C     C       C     C
 Why I was the one worth leav        ing

[Outro]
Fmaj7   Fmaj7   F6   Gadd4/F
C
