         E
Now I'm high in the city
Feel the evening air
The crowds in the city
    C           G
Compete for a share
E
It's all so busy, a complete affair
      F#m
Down here...

      E
As I walk through marble
 D                     C#m    E
Finding my way out to daylight
F#m          E
One drinking orange vodka
D
Someone inside here
      E
Will give us a ride dear

B
I know a place where we both can go
E
To set our hearts on fire
B
I know the city's the only show

Chorus:
E                  A  D
Can I take you for a ride
E                  A  D
I can make you satisfied
E                       A    D
All in all it's worth your while
E                             Bm
Change that frown back to a smile
   C#m
Tonight

Do or die in the misty city
All night long
A nightclub in the middle
Tappin' time to my song
Catch hell for leavin'
They are always wrong
Down here...

As I walk through marble
Finding my way in the night-light
Two people sit and argue
Someone inside here
Will give them a ride clear

I know a place where we both can go
To set our hearts on fire
I know the city's the only show

Chorus

       E
Do or die in the city
Feel the evening air
The crowds in the city
    C           G
Compete for a share
E
It's all so busy
It’s all so busy
