[D7] [G7] [Gmaj7] [A-9]
This view used to bring a smile to my face
[D7] [G7] (add3) [Cmaj7] [A-9]
Lately, its done nothing but remind me of the way
[D7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [A-9] [A7(b13)]
The way that you used to give me butterflies
[D7] [G7] (add3) [Cmaj7] [A7(b13)]
Took me twenty-one days to walk our former paradise
[D7] [F7]
Paradise
Chorus
[Cmaj7] [A7]*b13b9) [D7] [G7]
Step by step, brick by brick I'm reclaiming what's mine
Cmaj8 E7b5 A7(b13b9) D7 F7(add9)
This city is way too small to give away to just one guy
[Cmaj7] A7(b13b9 [D7] [Bb13]
Street by street, breath by breath from the Back Bay to the sky

I'm taking back my city, I'm taking back my life
Verse 1
[D7] [G7(add13)]
The cafe
[Cmaj7] [A7]
where you asked me for my name
[D7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [A9]
The bookstore we spent five hours, hiding from the rain
[D7] [G7]
It's like a game of monopoly except I steal back all my property
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)]
And leave you on the ground
[D7] [G7(add13)]
And I know one day that I'll see you with a girl on your arm
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)]
But I won't let that keep me from this town
[D7]
From this town
[G7]
From this town
