  Chicago on a Friday night
                     C/G
I was walking from a bar with
                  F

We heard sirens and saw blue lights

Right in front of us
C                   Em/B
  Seems a man took another

How can such a wrong ever
              F
make a right
                    C
What's worst by the end of the night
               G
There'll be something else,
somewhere else

       F
As the sun sets over the hills
       C/E         G
In Los Angeles and New York
Somebody's tryna find a place
to sleep
    F
But daddy's lookin for daughter
            C/E       G
Down in New Orleans toniiiiiiiight

  Miami on a Saturday night
