[Intro]
BbM7   Abadd9
 
 
[Verse 1]
BbM7                      Abadd9
I walk the streets of the city,
BbM7               Eb           F       BbM7    Abadd9
People everywhere, none of them know my name.
BbM7                          Abadd9
I see some things that ain't pretty,
BbM7                Eb           F       BbM7
Trouble in the air, somehow even I'm to blame.
 
 
[Chorus]
      Eb                 GM7
These buildings so tall, where are they going
Eb       F               BbM7
Reaching clear up to the sky?
Eb                   GM7
Make me feel small, lost without knowing,
Eb           F      BbM7
Where I am going or why.    
Abadd9   BbM7  Abadd9
Mmmmhh   Yeah
 
[Verse]
BbM7                  Abadd9
Tomorrow hangs like a promise,
BbM7                Eb     F        BbM7    Abadd9
Will it let me down like it did yesterday?  Yeah
BbM7                  Abadd9
Can count on nobody's promise,
BbM7               Eb          F         BbM7
People turn around without pleasure or dismay.
 
[Chorus]
    Eb                     GM7
But that don't seem right, not if love's glowing
Eb     F              BbM7
Not if we are really alive
    Eb                GM7
The road to the light must be worth knowing
Eb        F              BbM7
If we are plannin' to survive.
 
Abadd9 BbM7 Abadd9
 
[Chorus]
    Eb                     GM7
But that don't seem right, not if we're growing
Eb     F              BbM7
Not if we are really alive
    Eb                GM7
The road to the light must be worth knowing
Eb        F              BbM7
If we are plannin' to survive.
 
Abadd9      BbM7  Abadd9  BbM7  Abadd9
Mmmmhh      Yeah  Yeah    yeahh
