[Intro]
Bm G Em G
[Verse 1]
Bm G
For once I didn’t go home after shift
Em G
I called my wife and said I’d be late
Em G Bm
Every day it gets harder to go home
Bm G
I rode with a guy from work named Ronnie
Em G
I'd never been to his house before
Bm G
His wife was high, on the couch watching TV
Em G Bm
Their kids were fighting in the yard so we got out of there
Bm G Em G
We drove to a strip bar called Mary’s but the girls there are so young
Bm G
And who am I? Just a middle aged man, I’m who they hate
Em G Bm
Ronnie went to the front and sat at the line so I left him there
Bm G Em G
I bought a bottle and I didn’t call home, I didn’t go home
[Chorus]
Bm
A night in the city
G
The city at night
Em
A night in the city
G
The city at night
[Instrumental]
D Bm G Em

Bm G Em G
[Verse 2]
Bm G
I got sick behind a car, slept against a bank wall
Em G
Ate at Annie’s Donuts and made it to work on time
Bm G
Is this all there is? Is this what life is?
Em
A job that means nothing
G Bm
A woman who sleeps right next to you but she ain’t yours at all
Bm G
A one night rebellion that ends up just being a drag
Em G
Like a weight around your feet that ain’t heavy enough to send you down
Bm G
I remember in the back of a bar called the Blue Sea
Em G Em G
My wife sitting on my lap whispering, “You and me, only you and me”
[Chorus]
Bm
A night in the city
