Verse 1
Time was drift - ing, this rock had got to roll,
^ ^ ^
So I hit the road, and made my getaway, /_/ /_/
^ ^ ^ ^
Restless feel - in' ...really gotta hold,
^ ^^ ^
I started searching for a better way!
^ ^
Chorus
And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night,
But I couldn't see the light, ^^ ^ no, I couldn't see the light,
I kept on lookin' for a way to take me through the night---,
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right!
Verse 2
| / / / / | / / / / |
L.A. fev - er, made me feel al - right,
^ ^ ^
But, I must admit, it got the best of me, /_/ /_/
^ ^ ^ ^
Gettin' down, so deep I could've drowned,
^ ^ ^ ^
Now I can't get back the way I used to be!
^ ^
Chorus
But I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night,
But I couldn't see the light, no, I couldn't see the light,
I kept on lookin' for a way to take me through the night---,
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right!

New York Ci - ty, took me with the tide,

Left me strand - ed, took away my pride,

Just another no account fa - tali - ty!
