[Verse]
       C#                 F#  C#
In the heart of the city,
          C#               F#  C#
Where the alligators roam,
      C#                F#  C#
I'm a little lost when,
      C#                  F#  C#
Ain't got no place to go.
      C#                    F#  C#
Now I ain't got one minute,
           C#              F#  C#
Just gotta sit on my back,
       C#               F#  C#
I left home in a hurry,
         C#
'Til I'm never going back.


[Chorus]
    G#
I'm looking for a home,
       F#            C#
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]
C#  F#  C#


[Verse]
        C#                      F#  C#
Now I'm stepping on the street,
        C#                    F#  C#
And I'm stepping up the hill,
        C#                   F#  C#
And I'm looking for a lover,
         C#                  F#  C#
Looking, looking everywhere.
          C#                 F#  C#
Maybe I'm in with a chance?
       C#              F#  C#
I hear clickety clack.
       C#            F#  C#
It's a girl my lord,
            C#\      C#\
I see her stop, check
        F#      C#
Turning double fast.


[Chorus]
    G#
I'm looking for a lover,
       F#            C#
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]
C#  F#  C#


[Chorus 2]
    G#
I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, looking,
Looking, looking,
Looking everywhere,
       F#            C#
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]
C#  F#  C#


[Verse]
            C#                 F#  C#
Well in the heart of the city,
          C#                 F#  C#
Well it's part of the stars.
            C#              F#  C#
I hear that cassette music,
     C#                F#  C#
On a thousand guitars.
         C#                     F#  C#
Hey, the boys are on the prowl,
        C#                 F#  C#
They're checking out meat.
            C#                F#  C#
They know a bird in the hand,
         C#                 F#  C#
Is worth two on the street.


[Chorus 3]
        G#
They're checking the meat,
       F#            C#
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]
C#  F#  C#


[Outro]
C#
 Well I said;
    C#
The heart, heart,
F#       C#
 Of the city,
C#
 Heart, heart,
F#   C#
 Oh yeah.
C#
 Heart, heart,
F#       C#
 Of the city,
C#
 Heart, heart,
F#   C#
 Oh yeah.
