Intro: [Dm]This view used to [G]bring
[C]A smile to my [Am]face
[Dm]Lately it's done [G]nothing but
[C]Remind me of the [Am]way
[Dm]The way that you [G]used to
[C]Give me [Am] [A]butterflies
[Dm]Took me 21 [G]days to
Walk our [C]former [Am] [A]paradise
[F]Paradise, [Fm]bu-bu-bu-day duh
[C]Step by step, [A]brick by brick
I'm [Dm]reclaiming what's [G]mine
This [C]city is way too [A]small
To give [Dm]away to just one [Fm]guy
[C]Street by street, [Am]breath by [A]breath
From the [Dm]Back Bay to the [G]sky
[C]I'm taking back my [A]city
I'm [Dm]taking [G]back my [C]life
[Dm]The [G]café
[C]Where you asked me [Am]for my [A]name
[Dm]The bookstore we [G]spent
Five hours [C]hiding from the [Am] [A]rain
[Dm]It's like a game of Monopoly
Except [G]I steal back all my property
And [C]leave you on the [Am] [A]ground
And I [Dm]know that I'll
see you one day on the street
With a [G]girl on your arm but I
won't let that [C]keep me from this [Am] [A]town
[Dm]From this town
[Fm]From this town, oh
[C]Step by step, [A]brick by brick
I'm [Dm]reclaiming what's [G]mine
This [C]city is way too [A]small
To give [Dm]away to just one [Fm]guy
[C]Street by street, [Am]breath by [A]breath
From the [Dm]Back Bay to the [A#]sky
[C]I'm taking back my [A]city
I'm [Dm]taking [G]back my [C]life
I'm [Dm]taking back my [Fm] [C]city
