E E E A D                 A    E

         Somewhere out on that horizon

         Out beyond the neon lights

         I know there must be something better
         D                   E       A             E        D
         But there's nowhere else in sight.     Wo-oh-oh-oh


         It's survival in the city, children

         When you live from day to day

         City streets don't have much pity, no
                     E                     A
         When you're down that's where you stay

A        D/A   E/A         D/A     E    A
               IN THE CITY
                                              G   D  A  E
               IN THE CITY

         Guitar solo

         I was born here in the city

         With my back against the wall

         Nothing grows and life ain't very pretty

         No-one's there to catch you when you fall


         Somewhere out on that horizon

         Far away from the neon sky

         I know there must be something, must be something better

         And I can't stay another night


         Repeat IN The City, then end
