        G                     C 
Big old cold and lonely city, once I've thought you pretty
    G                        D
But now you're not pretty anymore
          G                              C
Your tall buildings flashing neon signs, captured every dream of mine
    D                                 G
And I came knocking on your heartless door

I had visions of success, planned my wealth and happiness
Can't we safely say I've been a fool
Like a fool I thought you had a heart, you tore my thoughts and dreams apart
Oh, cold and lonely city, you've been cruel

Bridge:
  D
I fell in love you watched me fall 
G
I married in your City Hall
A7
Couldn't hold your city girl 
     D
That wanted your big city world


My best was just not good enough, I must admit you were too much
Concrete hearts are hard and cold as ice
Now I'm a going back where I should be to mom and dad cause they love me
You cold and lonely city it's been nice
