City and Colour is the recording alias for Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, who is also the guitarist and vocalist of the St. Catharines, Ontario-based post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. He plays melodic acoustic/folk music, and is often accompanied by a rotating number of Canadian indie rock musicians, such as Daniel Romano and Spencer Burton of Attack in Black. The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour.

GBsus2Em In better days I've been known to listen GBsus2 I go to waste, Em all my time is missing GBsus2Em I'm mapping out my ending,
it's never gonna happen now GBsus2Em These things are condescending
with everybody backing down
GBsus2Em You pray to stars that can help you get by GBsus2Em And all at once you forget to try
GBsus2Em I'd go there if you let me,
they're never gonna find me now GBsus2Em My life is always empty
and in and out of doubt
DEmD You're not coming back for me, these things they will never be EmDEm I'm so used to being wrong, so put me where I belong....ohhh
GBsus2 I'll get back to you, G God knows I try, Bsus2 but I still lose GBsus2 And I get back to you, G these days run by, Bsus2 but I still lose
GBsus2EmGBsus2Em
GBsus2Em Angels say they can make you suffer GBsus2Em They give and take like a vicious lover
GBsus2Em When all this loses meaning,
You'll never want it back somehow GBsus2Em Awake but still I'm dreaming
And never waking up
DEmD You're not coming back for me, these things they will never be EmDEm I'm so used to being wrong, so put me where I belong....ohhh
GBsus2 I'll get back to you, G God knows I try, Bsus2 but I still lose GBsus2 And I get back to you, G these days run by, Bsus2 but I still lose....lose
GBsus2EmGBsus2Em
GBsus2Em Alone...Where I'm not alone [4x] GBsus2 Alone...Alone
