CHICAGO

[Verse I]
She said I'm wastin' all my time again
I get a feeling how these conversations end
I wish she’d come crawling in
I wish it didn’t go like that this time

When you need some help she said look in the mirror
'Cause half of my symptoms sound made up
Half of the life I spent, wastin' my time in the dust
I'm riding the bus

[Chorus]
In downtown Chicago
Making little exchanges
You want someone to find you
You need someone to know you now, woah

But the city of angels
You dream of New York City (woah)
Just so someone could find you
Just so someone would know your name

[Verse II]
When you getting on that planе?
But no one wants to know
No one sent you rosеs I know
They can't keep up

Then you get there there baby
And you know what you got
Standing with your thoughts
You stop looking tough

[Bridge]
Lights, goin' out for sure
From that wind
What will you do when the darkness comes and it's just you?

[Chorus]
You left out Chicago
You're broke in New York City
And nobody found you
And nobody knows your name (woah)

For the city of Angels
She wasn't near as pretty (woah)
And now no one can find you
And there's nobody left to blame

You stretched out Chicago
Another year in a tangle
You need someone to follow
I need someone to hold right now

Same as California
Pressed in New York City
I'll see my mama tomorrow
I just hope it'd feel the same

[Outro]
Then you stand there
Thinking to yourself
"What the ---- was it all for?"
Man, I could have not been famous
