Intro
*one strum per chord
[Dm7] [G7]
This view used to bring
[Cmaj7] [Am]
A smile to my face
[Dm7] [G7]
Lately it's done nothing but
[Cmaj7] [Am]
Remind me of the way
Verse
[Dm7] [G7]
The way that you used to
[Cmaj7] [Am] [A7]
Give me butterflies
[Dm7] [G7]
Took me 21 days to
[Cmaj7] [Am] [A7]
Walk our former paradise
[Fmaj7] [Fm]
Paradise, bu-bu-bu-day duh
Chorus
[Cmaj7] [A7]
Step by step, brick by brick
[Dm7] [G7]
I'm reclaiming what's mine
[Cmaj7] [A7]
This city is way too small
[Dm7] [Fm]
To give away to just one guy
[Cmaj7] [Am] [A7]
Street by street, breath by breath
[Dm7] [G7]
From the Back Bay to the sky
[C] [C7] [A7]
I'm taking back my city
[Dm7] [G7] [C]
I'm taking back my life
Verse
[Dm7] [G7]
The café
[Cmaj7] [Am] [A7]
Where you asked me for my name
[Dm7] [G7]
The bookstore we spent
[Cmaj7] [Am] [A7]
Five hours hiding from the rain
[Dm7]
It's like a game of Monopoly
[G7]
Except I steal back all my property
[Cmaj7] [Am] [A7]
And leave you on the ground
[Dm7]
And I know that I'll see you one day on the street
[G7] [Cmaj7] [Am] [A7]
With a girl on your arm but I won't let that keep me from this town
[Dm7]
From this town
[Fm]
From this town, oh
Chorus
[Cmaj7] [A7]
Step by step, brick by brick
[Dm7] [G7]
I'm reclaiming what's mine
[Cmaj7] [A7]
This city is way too small
[Dm7] [Fm]
To give away to just one guy
[Cmaj7] [Am] [A7]
Street by street, breath by breath
[Dm7] [Bb]
From the Back Bay to the sky
[C] [C7] [A7]
I'm taking back my city
[Dm7] [G7] [C] [C7]
I'm taking back my life
[Dm7] [Fm] [Cmaj7]
I'm taking back my city
