G
Life in the City, gets all closed in 
                       C
When you stand  in a crowd all lone 
D                                                    D7
Wishing that someone would call out your number

Hoping that someone might phone.

Nights in the City, can drive you crazy 
               C                                 {C7}
There's so very much going on 
D                                    {D7}
Try to get quiet, you'll miss out on something 
           C                                                A7
Like someone who's looking for, someone who's looking__. (Stop) 

Chorus 
D               A                D
Their, I almost got caught again 
    G                                  D
*Lost in the night all alone_
             A                           G
With nowhere to hide, crying inside 
       C                                    G           D
A wild heart looking for home__

2. 
G
Sleeping without you, is always cold 
           C                                            C7
The nights are so dark_and so long_
D                                               D7
Dreaming of touching your face in the moonlight 
           C                                      G                 D
And filling the silence with song_
G         
Living without you, the days_are endless 
           C                                      C7
The clock winding steadily down 
D                                             {D7}
Imagining footsteps, your hand at the gate post 
          C                                                   A7
The wind shuts the open door, the wind shuts the open__. (Stop) 

Chorus 

3.
           G
The songbird, she trembles all day long_
           C                                                C7
She sings as the poor heart must break 
D                                               D7
Watching the freedom that flies past her window 
            C                                       G
Her dreaming won't fit in her cage 
G
Flyaway songbird, the wind still loves you 
            C                                  G
your prison is forsaken at last 
D                                                    D7
Follow your dreaming, you're bound up to heaven 
                 C                                                   A7
You're reaching for something more, reaching for something___. (Stop) 
 
Ending 
D                A                       D
There, I thought of your face again 
          G                                    D
*A vision to have, and to hold_
          A                               G
My spirit still sings, I'm flying again 
     C                                         G
a wild heart looking for a home 
      C                                        G                D7               G
