Intro 1
(E minor)
Verse 1
I (E minor) was raised in the heart of the city
Angry (A major) with life for being so pretty
Raised (E minor) on a cushion of
middle class money
Kept (A major) from the bitter by my taste of honey
Oh city (E minor) boy, oh city (A major) boy (D major) (A minor)
A (E minor) city of cold eyes, a city of nowheres
People (A major) are pushing and
strain (Asus4) ing to get (A major) there
A (E minor) city of friends lost, a city of laughter
A (Asus4) strange combination of (A major)
(Asus4) hope and disaster
Oh (A major) (E minor) city boy, oh city (A major) boy (A minor)
Oh, boy, (C major) what's (D major) in your (E minor) soul?
City boy, say what's in (A minor) your soul? (C major)
Can you (D major) slide around life's hairpin corners?
Or (C major) will you lose (B major) con (E minor) trol?
City boy, say what's in (A minor) your name? (C major)
And you (D major) rush to make the
winner's circle
Have (C major) you ignored (B major) the flames? (E minor)
Ah, (A minor) city (C major) boy, city (A minor) (C major) boy (E minor)
You'll (C major) search for fame and fortune (D major)
If (C major) you ignore the (B major) pain (E minor)
Ah -ha, (A major) city (E minor) boy
Ah -ha, city boy
Ah -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha -ha
City boy
We are animals of pleasure
Searching (G major) for delight
Crawling (A major) through the neon
Of a life (C major) ever coming night
(B major) Bellies (E minor) that are empty
Eye (G major) s that shine bright
Souls (A major) that live in darkness
Yearn (C major) ing for (B major) the light, (E minor)
yearning for the (C major) light
The ocean
Yes, we (D major) are yearn (E minor) ing,
yearning for the light (C major)
The ocean
We are (D major) burn (E minor) ing, yearning for the light (C major)
The ocean
Yes, I (D major) am burn (E minor) ing
Yearning for the (C major) light
Yearning for the light (D major)
Yearning for the (E minor) light
Yearning (D major) for the (C major) light
Yearning for the (D major) light
Yearning for the (E minor) light
Yearning for the (C major) light
Yearning for the (D major) light
Yearning for the (F major) light (C major) (F major) (C major)
I'm (F major) lost on (C major) this road again,
I (G major) find myself without a (D minor) friend.
High (F major) in my (C major) lonely sky
(G major) I find that I have flown (D minor)
Too high to (D major) lay (A minor)
Ooh, (D major) too high to lay
