      [Intro]
Bm Asus4 G

[Verse]
Bm            Asus4    G         Bm
This city is made of stone
           Asus4              G    
Earth and ground is moved, stacked 
                            Bm
to build a home
                Asus4        G         Bm
The trees are standing all alone
                    Asus4
Transplanted to the city streets
    G                                       A
To make this place feel more like home


[Prechorus]
                   G  
A place we do not know
          D            Cadd9 
But it’s fine, oh it’s fine, 
           G         A
oh it’s fine…
                          G
A place where I long to go
            D            Cadd9    
Where it’s mine, oh it’s mine,
          G
oh it’s mine…
         A
Oh it’s time


[Chorus]
         D                   
If the streets turned to a riverway
         A                 
And the cars just simply float away
           Bm                   
And the buildings turned to redwood trees
 
  G                  
Taller than the eye can see
             D                       
If I could watch that sun go up and down
A                  
On the other side of town
             Bm
And if the streetlights turned to moonlight
         E
If the streetlights turned to moonlight
G                      G                              Bm
Baby that’d be alright, it’d be alright with me


[Verse]
        Asus4                    G            Bm
And the noise down on the streets
             Asus4                G                            Bm          
Of beeps and bangs and honks and dogs and baby’s screams
              Asus4           G          Bm
The noise is jumbled like a sea
               Asus4            G                          A
It rolls like thunder and the rumbling is calling out to me


[Prechorus]
                               G
I hear the mountains call my name
        D     Cadd9   G               A
Singing ah…..
                                G  
The sweeping valleys do the same
         D    Cadd9     G              A
Singing ah…                         ah....


[Chorus]
         D                   
If the streets turned to a riverway
         A                 
And the cars just simply float away
         Bm                    
And the buildings turned to redwood trees
 
 G
Taller than the eye can see
            D                       
If I could watch that sun go up and down
A                  
On the other side of town
            Bm
And if the streetlights turned to moonlight
         G
If the streetlights turned to moonlight          

        D                                  
If the birds flew south when winter came
        A                       
And we all packed up and did the same
         Bm                     
Just to catch a taste of God’s green earth
        G                    
Is to drink the cup of life’s rebirth

             D                          
And if this cold concrete beneath our toes
       A                                  
Was a wide green field where flowers grow
         Bm                                 
From up here on the third floor balcony
       G             
I can see the possibilities


[Bridge]
D   Cadd9   G
Ah... (x4)

[Ending]
          D                 
And the thunder on the street below
 A          
Finally begins to slow
        Bm                                   G
As the streetlights turn to moonlight
 D        Cadd9       G
