 Chicago on a Friday night
           C/GC/G            FF
I was walking from a bar with a friend of mine

We heard sirens and saw blue lights

Right in front of us

 Seems a man took another mans life
          C/GC/G         FF
How can such a wrong ever make a right
          C majorC
What's worst by the end of the night
        G+G
There'll be something else, somewhere else


Pre-Chorus:
    FF
As the sun sets over the hills
    C/EC/E     G+G
In Los Angeles and New York

Somebody's tryna find a place to sleep
  FF
But daddy's lookin for daughter
      C/EC/E    G+G
Down in New Orleans toniiiiiiiight

Chorus:
  C majorC     Em/B        Am7Am7  G+G
Hey man, just one more night in America

C majorC          Em/B      Am7Am7
 She only wanted to feel some love
      C/GC/G             FF

            C majorC
Men tried but they were never enough

She needs somethin' else or somewhere else


Pre-Chorus:
    FF
And in Vegas someone's gamblin
 C/EC/E       G+G

And say mama I'm fiiiiine
