Verse 1:
I never liked this [G7]apple much
It always seemed too big to[D] touch
I can’t remember how [G7]I found
My way before she came [D]around
Chorus:
I tell [F13]everyone I smile [Bb9]just because
I’ve got a [F13]city love, I found it in [Bb9]Lydia
And I [C7]can’t [G7]remember [C7]life [G7]before her [D5]name
Verse 2:
She keeps a toothbrush at [G7]my place
As if I had the extra[D] space
She steals my clothes to wear [G7]to work
I know, her hairs are on my[D] shirts
Chorus:
I tell [F13]everyone I smile [Bb9]just because
I’ve got a [F13]city love, I found it in [Bb9]Lydia
And I [C7]can’t [G7]remember [C7]life [G7]before the [Eb9]day
Verse 3:
She called up and cam[Bb9]e to me
Covered in rai[Eb9]n, and dinnertime sha[Bb7]dowing
And as her clothe[Gm]s spun, we spoone[C]d
And I knew[Eb9] I was through when I said ‘I [D]love [G/D]you’ [D]
[D] [G7] [F7] [Bb] [Asus4] [A]
[G7]Friday evening, we’ve been drinking
Two A.M., I swear I might propose
But we [G7]close the tab, split a cab
And call each other up when we get [D]home
Falling asleep to the [G7]sound of sirens
[F13] [Bb9] [F13] [Bb9]
I’ve got a city love
I found it in [F13]Lydia [Bb9]
(Bridge)
From the [F13]Battery
To the [Bb9]gallery
It’s the kind [F13]of thing
You only see in [Bb9]scented, glossy [F13]magazines
Outro:
And I [C7]can’t [G7]remember [C7]life [G7]before her [D5]name
