C

Dear Chicago, you'll never guess You know the girl you said I'd meet some day? Well I got something to confess

F

She picked me up on Friday Asked me if she reminded me of you

C

I just laughed and lit a cigarette Said that's impossible to do

F

Life's gotten simple since And it fluctuates so much

C

Happy and sad and back again I'm not crying out to much

F

Think about you all the time It's strange and hard to deal

C

Think about you lying there Those blankets lie so still

Am

Nothing breathes here in the cold Nothing moves or even smiles

F

I've been thinking some of suicide But there's bars out here for miles

Am

Sorry about the every kiss Every kiss you wasted bad

F

I think the thing you said was true I'm going to die alone and sad

C

The wind's feeling real these days And, baby, it hurts me some Never thought I'd feel so blue New York City, you're almost gone

Took a walk with you and I busted up my shoe In an old yellow canoe out in Hollywood You called the police, but they didn't care, the lease On your place had run out, your landlord straightened his hat Bringing you down, Can't bring you down Bringing you down, Can't bring you down Bringing you down, Can't hear the sound Run through the river and into town Pretty little moon with its head on down Chin up... cheer up... Chin up... cheer up...
