Tom : A
(Words gotten from the Guitar Archive)
E E E A D A E
Somewhere out on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be something better
D E A E D
But there's nowhere else in sight. Wo-oh-oh-oh
It's survival in the city, children
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity, no
E A
When you're down that's where you stay
A D/A E/A D/A E A
IN THE CITY
G D A E
IN THE CITY
[Solo]
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows and life ain't very pretty
No-one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Far away from the neon sky
I know there must be something, must be something better
And I can't stay another night
Repeat IN The City, then end
