[Verse 1] 
CFGF A break in the clouds is a break in my day
GFC Face the sun of my salvation
CFGF As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own feet
GFC Fly by the wings of your creation
 [Chorus 1] 
FCG On the top of your head, there is a poem
AmF The thought in my head, oh God only knows
CG As everything else will disappoint you
FCGAmF I used to be young and bold, but now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old
CG I followed the light to the City of Roses

[Verse 2] 
CFGF It's a little-known fact that I can't cope
GFC I'm the champion of repression
CFGF I've had it enough with the east coast
GFC I'll die by the wings of my ambition
 [Chorus 2] 
FCG The city I left, the city of throes
AmF The one that I loved, the city of hope
CG As everything else will disappoint you
FCGAmF I used to be young and bold, but now I'm of age, I'm getting so old
CG I followed the light to the City of Roses
 [Outro] 
CFGF A break in the clouds is a break in my day
