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
