The City Wont Sleep Tonight Acoustic Chords

(ver. 1)
Blackout Problems
[Intro]
Dm Bb F C

[Verse 1]
        Dm
Step outside where
     Bb
Dull scissors could cut the air
            Dm
Something's wrong here
    F
The people's voices in despair
           Dm
"The papers write about us

TV talks about us
        Bb
But the fact is

They never listen to us"
       Dm
On his golden chair

The king is scared
    F                                        Dm
The empire falls we've been safely prepared

[Pre-Chorus]
                                F
You've build it brick by brick

You'll see me spit on it
           Bb
You should hope to get out
                 C
Hope to get out alive

[Chorus]
                       Dm                F
The city won't sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
        Bb
We riot all over town
                C
All over town tonight
                       Dm                F
The city won't sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
        Bb
We riot all over town
                C
All over town tonight
                       Dm     F
The city won't sleep tonight

[Verse 2]
        Dm
Brother take care
            Bb
The biggest cross is the hardest to bear
       Dm
I have been there
            F
I know this fight is far from fair
              Dm
I've seen the envy, the greed

Seen the blood on the street
         Bb
Seen the madness

Of the kings and the queens
    Dm
The chair was spotted

At lost and found
   F
We shook the earth
                         Dm
And we stood our ground

[Pre-Chorus]
                                F
You've build it brick by brick

You'll see me spit on it
           Bb
You should hope to get out
                 C
Hope to get out alive

[Chorus]
                       Dm                F
The city won't sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
        Bb
We riot all over town
                C
All over town tonight
                       Dm                F
The city won't sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
        Bb
We riot all over town
                C
All over town tonight
                       Dm
The city won't sleep tonight

[Bridge]
                    F
We paint the sky blue
                         Bb
We paint the streets red
                    C
We paint the sky blue
                        Dm
Fight us, we fight back
                    F
We paint the sky blue
                         Bb
We paint the streets red
                    C
We paint the sky blue
                        Dm
Fight us, we fight back

[Pre-Chorus]
                                F
You've build it brick by brick

You'll see me spit on it
           Bb
You should hope to get out
                 C
Hope to get out alive

[Chorus]
                       Dm                F
The city won't sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
        Bb
We riot all over town
                C
All over town tonight
                       Dm                F
The city won't sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
        Bb
We riot all over town
                C
All over town tonight

[Outro]
                   Dm    F
Fight us, we fight back
                   Bb    C
Fight us, we fight back
Fight us, we fight back
