Title:

“City of Dreams”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am / Em / Am / Em
In the city that never sleeps, I found my rhythm and beat
G / D / Am / Em
Chasing dreams on the concrete, under the neon street
Am / Em / Am / Em
The skyline whispers a melody, it’s the song of a restless heart
G / D / Am / Em
In the echoes of the city, I found a place to start

(Chorus)
C / G / Am / Em
The city of dreams, where everything’s not what it seems
F / C / G / G
It’s a symphony of chaos, a beautiful maze
C / G / Am / Em
In the city of dreams, where hope never ends, it seems
F / C / G / G
It’s where we found our voice, it’s where we found our place

(Verse 2)
Am / Em / Am / Em
With every strum and beat, we shaped our destiny
G / D / Am / Em
In the heart of the city, we found our symphony
Am / Em / Am / Em
The echoes of our dreams, reflect in the city lights
G / D / Am / Em
In the rhythm of the streets, we found our guiding light

(Repeat Chorus)
