A/D A E
somewhere out on that horizon
A/D A E
out beyond the neon lights
A/D A E
i know there must be something better
A/D E A
but there’s nowhere else in sight .

A/D A E
it’s survival in the city , children
A/D A E

A/D A E
city streets don’t have much pity , no

A/D A/E A/D A/E

A/D A E
i was born here in the city
A/D A E
with my back against the wall
A/D A E
nothing grows and life ain’t very pretty
A/D E A
no – one’s there to catch you when you fall

A/D A E
somewhere out on that horizon
A/D A E
far away from the neon sky
A/D A E
i know there must be something better
A/D E A D
and i can’t stay another night

A E / D
in the city . . . ahaaa . . .
A E / D
in the city . . . ahaaa . . .
A E / D
in the city . . . ahaaa . . .
