Lyrics
You came to me from Illinois, you said it had a silent "S", you touched me in a way I know that I'll never feel again, your lips were soft, your tongue was sharp, yeah, it even had a ring, you held me in your arms that night and you became my every thing My mind is aching, my heart is banging, right out of my chest, and now I'm saying baby... Chicago, never wanna let you go, can't you really see my heart is breaking on that plane my soul your taking with you Chicago, never wanna let you go, can't you see my tears could fill a river, sink or swim, I think I'm drowning for you, Chicago, baby you don't know, either way I take the fall, but I don't think I can get on without you You say that he's the one who hurt you, yeah, he's just like all the rest, well he should have put his arms around you, but he wanted second best, I try to tell you how I feel but the words got in the way, your eyes are blue, your heart is real, and still I don't know what I'm saying (bridge) (chorus) (guitar break) (chorus/end)
