Verse 1:



D/E

They told me the streets were all paved with gold

C#m7/E

But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold

G/A

They said neon lights were a beautiful sight

But how 'bout the one blinking in

C E7sus4 E7

My room all night



Chorus:



C#m7 F#m7 Bm7 E

And where's the magic in this magic town?

C#m7 F#m7 Bm7 E

Where's the good life they said could be found?

C#m7 F#m7 Bm7 /C# /D D#m7-5 D/E

Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true

Before I bring you to (to coda)



Verse 2:



They said in this town you get rich in no time

But here I am and I'm down to my last dime

I just don't know why I bother to try

When nobody here gives a hang

If I live or die
