B           F#
Oh, Chicago knows
             C#m
How small we are

How bright she
G#m           E
Shines in the dark

B                F#
Oh, and though I go
            C#m
She's in my heart
        G#m
Chicago holds me
       E
When I fall apart

[Verse 1]
B                                            F#
When you sit on the train are you hit by the way that the city lights around you
G#m                                     E
Late at night when you ride do you look outside do you see it bright like I do
B                                  F#
All the people the places the city faces they all take me in
G#m                                              E
All around all the lost, all the found, all the everything in every instant

G#m    E

[Chorus]
B           F#
Oh, Chicago knows
             C#m
How small we are

How bright she
G#m           E
Shines in the dark

B                F#
Oh, and though I go
            C#m
She's in my heart
        G#m
Chicago holds me
       E
When I fall apart

[Interlude]
B

[Verse 2]
B                                   F#
Why do we try to be everything everybody tells us that we should be
G#m                              E
Why do I try to hide in the city lights from the people all around me
B                                 F#
Well Chicago you know I can never be the one to change it all
G#m                                             E
But as I walk down the street I can feel, I can need, I can fade into your walls

G#m    E

[Chorus]
B           F#
Oh, Chicago knows
             C#m
How small we are

How bright she
G#m           E
Shines in the dark

B                F#
Oh, and though I go
            C#m
She's in my heart
        G#m
Chicago holds me
       E       C#m
When I fall apart

[Bridge]
E                                  G#m
 You know tomorrow's always on my mind
E|------>| build to the chorus
I guess I got to give it time

[Chorus]
(A cappella)
N.C.
Oh, Chicago knows

How small we are

How bright she

Shines in the dark

B                F#
Oh, and though I go

She's in my heart
        E
Chicago holds me
E|-------->| build to chorus

B           F#

Shines in the dark

B                F#
