Listen to the sound of the city Wondering where you are Blinking like a fading star In a room on the twelfth floor of a building I want to go outside See the world through no lens just my own eyes But this city will kill you If you try to do all the things that you want to I’ve got this feeling that I’m meant for something more Not sitting around waiting for something to come to my door Beatbox, street walks, everybody’s moving To the sound of the city Late night feels right everybody’s grooving To the sound of the city I want to go slumming Window shop happy hour guitar strumming Freestyle at the Bowery diva receptions for the daughter of a queen Ooooooh, she was looking mean Oooooooh, will I ever see your face again? Street walks, big talk, everybody’s moving to the sound Of the city, The city, come on over to my place and rest your head Street walks, big talk, everybody’s moving to the sound Of the city, come on over to my place and rest your head Over to my place and rest your head Over to my place and rest your head

In a [D#] room on the [Dm] 12th floor of a [Cm] building...

A# - D# - Dm – A – D# - Dm - Cm
I want to go outside / See the world through no lens just my own eyes
But this city will kill you / If you try to do all the things that you want to

I’ve got this feeling that I’m meant for something more
Not sitting around waiting for something to come to my door

A# - Cm (D# - Dm - Cm)
Beat box, street walks, everybody’s moving
To the sound of the city (la ooooh oh-oh ooooh ooh)
Late night feels right everybody’s grooving
To the sound of the city (la ooooh oh-oh ooooh ooh)

I want to go slumming / Window shop happy hour guitar strumming
Freestyle at the Bowery / diva receptions for the daughter of a queen

Ooooooh, she was looking mean
Oooooooh, will I ever see your face again?

Street walks, big talk, everybody’s moving to the sound
Of the city, (la ooooh oh-oh ooooh ooh)
The city, come on over to my place and rest your head

Over to my place and rest your head
Over to my place and rest your head
