D Am
Standin at the airport lookin down the strip,
Am [C7]
She was cryin her eyes, she was bitin her lip
C7 G
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
C7 G
And there's no turnin round cos it's just leavin the ground
Am [break]
And gettin higher (higher)

D Am
Standin at the dock-side lookin out to sea
Am [C7]
When I saw her but she did not see me
C7 G
There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat
C7 G
And as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
Am [break]
Back to the city (city)

Gm Am
Night in the city, o-o-oh,

Gm Am Bb C [D]
Night in the city drivin you insane

Am
