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  
    When you live from day to day  
A/D              A               E  
    City streets don't have much pity, no  
A/D             E                     A      D

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...
