i go to the parties , throw my hands in the air

fly over the houses , i’m looking down

verse 2 : [ use verse 1 chords ]
there’s no ghosts in the graveyard , that’s not where they live
they float in between us , ’what is’ and ’what if’
and cast our own shadows , before our own eyes
you don’t get them up here though , they don’t come up high

chorus 2 : [ use chorus 1 chords ]
joy to the city , the parking lot lights
the lion of evening , with the rain in its eyes
joy to the freeway , joy to the cars
and joy to you baby , wherever you are
tonight , tonight , tonight
tonight , tonight , tonight

verse 3 : [ use verse 1 chords ]
there’s pain in whatever , we stumble upon
if i never had met you , you couldn’t have gone
but then i couldn’t have met you , we couldn’t have been
i guess it all adds up , to joy to the end

chorus 3 : [ use chorus 1 chords ]
joy to the city , the heatwave and all
to the lion of evening , with the storm in its paw
joy to the many , and joy to the few
and joy to you baby , joy to me too
tonight , tonight , tonight
tonight , tonight , tonight
tonight , tonight , tonight
