-6    -6  -6  6   6    6 6 5 -4
Somewhere out on that horizon *

-6  -6 -6   6  6 6    6 
Out beyond the neon lights

-6 -6   -6    -6  6   6    6    6  6 5 -4 
I know there must be somethin' better*  *

-6    -6    -7  -7   -7  -7   7 
but there's nowhere else in sight

-6   -6 -6 6  6   6   6 5 -4 
It's survival in the city  *

-6   -6   -6    6   6  6   6 
When you live from day to day

-6-6   -6      6    6    6   6 5 -4 
City streets don't have much pity *

-6     -6    -7    -7      -7     -7    7 
When you're down, that's where you'll stay

-6  5  6 -6 -8 7 
In the city,oh,oh.

-6  5  6 -6 
In the city

verse 2. 
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 
Faraway from the neon sky 
I know there must be somethin' better 
And I can't stay another night 
In the city,oh,oh. 
In the city
