[Verse 1]
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                 Am     
And gettin higher (higher)    BREAK
[Verse 2]
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           Am                 
Back to the city (city)  BREAK
[Chorus]
Gm            Am
 Night in the city, o-o-oh,

Gm          Am
 Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,

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

Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake

             C7                     G
