Verse 1:
E              Bsus2
Life is like a journey
     E                  Bsus2
On a road that's within
E                    Bsus2
Head says you should stay
         E               Bsus2
But your heart says to begin
       G#
So you go
              F#m          B
But you don't want to go

E              Bsus2
Any life worth living
      E                     Bsus2
Isn't life just filled with ease
E                Bsus2
You just stay forgiving
            E              Bsus2
Through the forest and the trees
           G#
And you'll go
               F#m           D
Just where you want to go

Chorus 1:
G          D         G
Time flies by in the city of light
G           D            G
Time stands still in the country
G          D          G
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
G     D          B/D#   E7
As we travel the land

Am              D
And I'd be satisfied
        B7/D#    Em
Just to be not denied
     C
To reside with some pride
        Am7
While I ride, to the City
            C/D
The City of Light!

B

Verse 2:
E              Bsus2
Light shines like a diamond
       E            Bsus2
In the City at night
E                 Bsus2
When that diamond shines
              E               Bsus2
You know that everything's alright
        G#
But you know
         F#m        B
We got a way to go

E               Bsus2
Let us meet the master
         E              Bsus2
We don't wanna make him wait
E               Bsus2
You just keep a-knockin'
        E           Bsus2
He will open up the gate
               G#       F#m    D
To the City of Light
