You Belong to the City
Glen Frey and Jack Tempchin 1984
I have tried to place the chords on the downbeats.
Em
The sun goes down , the night grows in,
Am
You can feel it starting all over again.
Em
The moon comes up and the music calls,
Am
You're gettin' tired of staring at the same four walls.
Em
You're out of your room and down on the street,
Am
Looking through the crowd in the midnight heat.
Em
The traffic roars and the sirens scream,
Am
You look at the faces - it's just like a dream.
C Bm
Nobody knows where you're going,
Am7 Bm
Nobody cares where you've been,
Em7 Cadd9
Cause you belong to the city , You belong to the night,
Am C Em
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light.
C9 Em
You were born in the city , concrete under your feet
Am C
It's in your moves , it's in your blood:
Em
You're a man of the streets.
Em7 Am
When you said goodbye you were on the run
Em
Tryin' to get away from the things you've done.
Am
Now you're back again and you're feeling strange
Em
So much has happened and nothing has changed.
Am7 Bm
Still don't know where you're going ,
Am7 Bm
You're still just a face in the crowd,
Em7 Cadd9
You belong to the city, you belong to the night
Em7 Cadd9
You belong to the city, you belong to the night
Em Em7 Am Am7
You can feel it - you can taste it.
You can see it - you can face it.
You can hear it, oh, you're getting near it, oh,
You wanna make it, oh, 'cause you can take it, oh,
Em7 Cadd9
You belong to the city, you belong to the night ,
Em7 Cadd9
You belong to the city, you belong to the night,
Em7 Cadd9
You belong, you belong...
