Verse: (like intro)
There's a young man with Dirt on his hands
There's a room of sweat Full of one night stands
A life of regret in a rock and roll band
A whole lot of debt And a pocket full of sand
There's a sick mother Can't find her lost son
And there's a father Didn't know he had one
Run down caddy In the neighbor's backyard…
Where the kid got shot And it all fell apart
Bm A
Just another day in the city life
F#m E
Just another day where we live or die
We're all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
F#m E (Bm)
Just another day in the city life, city life
Verse:
There's a law man and He's loosin' his touch
Trapped a loose cannon Says he won't lose much
A prospect picked and He's earnin' his patch
Dealt a dirty deed and It's paid for in cash
The pressure's so thick You forget how to breathe
You gotta get drunk just To blow off some steam
So many lights but We're kept in the dark…
yeah, they can take it all But we still got heart
Chorus:
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life
Bridge:
E E
There's no need to be nervous - We were born to fight
E A Bm
Sons and daughters we can ----- Take it outside
E
Follow the lead - Lead me to water
Do what it takes - Then take it from me
When there ain't nothin' left - You can read me my rights
A Bm
Carry the load in the city life
Solo: Bm - A - F#m - E
Chorus:
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life
Chorus:
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all waitin' for some kind of sign
F#m E Bm - A - F#m - E
Just another day in the city life, city life
