[Verse 1]
[D]I'm[A][D]
[Em][D][A][Em][D][A]
[F#m]giving [F#]up the ci[A]garettes
I'm tired of the drinking
Think I'll learn a second language
Got some friends are Puerto Rican
Speaking of my friends I [D]know they don'
always [A]keep me in line
But I swear they're full of wisdom
and I'm learn[D]ing all the time
[A]And I know I'm going to get there
Going to get there some day
But in this there are no shortcuts
No how,
[D]No [A]way.
[D]And I've been living [A]my life
Longing for a City
[F#]Long[A]ing for someone I can [F#]call my own
[A]I ain't tal[B]king abo[D]ut love
[Em]and I do not ask for [A]pity
I just [D]want [A]a bit of something
when I'm feeling down
I've done my [C#]time[A]
[B]And now I find I w[A]ant[D] a city.[A]

door and I'm waiting for an answer
My sneakers are stuck in bubble gum and my
heart starts beating faster.
What if [B]there is [D]no design?
What if [A]God don't have a [B]plan?
[A]I start [F#]screaming [A]at the mezzanine
But an [D]old priest [A]lets me in,
Sits me down and says,
“Son, you've got someone up
there who ain't never gonna [D]let you [A]down,
But in this there are no shortcuts
No way,
No how.

[Verse 3]
And I've been living [A]my life
Longing for a City
Longing for someone I can call my own
I ain't [B]talking about love
and I do not ask for pity
