"Top of the City"
From 1993's "The Red Shoes"



Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
One more step to the top of the city

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Where just a couple of pigeons are living

Asus2 Bsus4 Asus2
Up on the angel's shoulders


B F#m/B
I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but

Amaj7/B
It looks like Hell down there

B
These streets have never been paved with gold

Amaj7/B
Welcome to the loneliest city in the world


Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
It's no good for you baby

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
It's no good for you now

Asus2 Bsus4
Keep looking up for the ladder



C#m G#m/B A
I don't know if you'll love me for it

C#m G#m/B A
But I don't think we should suffer this

C#m G#m/B A
There's just one thing we can do about it


Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Take me up to the top of the city

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Take me up to the top of the city

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Take me up to the top of the city

Asus2 Bsus4 Asus2
And put me up on the angel's shoulders



B F#m/B
See how that building there is nearly built

Amaj7/B B
There's a big fire over on the north of the city


I see you walking down the street with her

Amaj7/B
I see your lights going on and off

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
She's no good for you baby

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
She's no good for you now

Asus2 Bsus4
Look I'm here with the ladder



C#m G#m/B A
I don't know if you love me or not

C#m G#m/B A
But I don't think we should ever suffer

C#m G#m/B A
There's just one thing we can do about this


Asus2 Bsus4
Take me up to the top of the city

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Take me up to the top of the city

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Up to the highest point of the city

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
One more step to the top of the city

Asus2 Bsus4
Put me up on the angel's shoulders



Asus2 B C#m
I don't mind if it's dangerous

Asus2 B C#m B/C#
I don't mind if it's raining

Asus2 B C#m B/C#
Take me up to the top of the city


Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
And put me up on the angel's shoulders

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Take me up to the top of the city

Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Mmm yes, one more step to the top of the city


Asus2 Bsus4 Asus2

B B9 Amaj7/B
And put me up on the angel's shoulders
