[Verse 1]
D/B                 E/B       D/B             D/B  A
   Time was drift - ing, this rock had got to roll
G                              D/B     D/F#  C/F#
So I hit the road, and made my getaway,
D/B                 E/B     D/B             D/B  A
    Restless feel - in'  ...really gotta hold
G                         Esus4  E
I started searching for a better way!


[Chorus]
      D                     A                         Em
And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night,
                        Em   F#m  G                        D     A
But I couldn't see the light,       no, I couldn't see the light,
  D                     A                          Em
I kept on lookin' for a way to take me through the night---,
                C                        Esus4  E
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right!

    L.A. fev - er,     made me feel al - right
G                             D/B        D/F#  C/F#
But, I must admit, it got the best of me
D/B               E/B    D/B                  D/B  A
    Gettin' down,     so deep I could've drowned
G                              Esus4   E
Now I can't get back the way I used to be!


[Chorus]
      D                     A                         Em
And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night,
                        Em   F#m  G                        D     A
But I couldn't see the light,       no, I couldn't see the light,
  D                     A                          Em
I kept on lookin' for a way to take me through the night---,
                C                        Esus4  E
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right!

[Verse 4]
D/B               E/B  D/B                  D/B  A
    New York Ci - ty,  took me with the tide
G                          D/B     D/F#  C/F#
I nearly died from hospi - tality,
D/B                E/B    D/B                D/B  A
  Left me strand - ed,    took away my pride
G                            Esus4  E
Just another no account fa - tali - ty!
