 thing! Good luck :)
 Intro : -Bmsus7-  (3x)
 I hold an Am from fret 3 and put my pinky on fret 5 on the B-string. This riff is
 played in the verses as well. Don't play on the 5th or 6th string. Mute those
 strings with your thumb if you feel you need too :)
--
 Time is driftin', this rock has got to roll
 
 So I hit the road and made my getaway
--
 Restless feeling, I really gotta hold
 I started searching for  a better way
   <-- Sounds better imo
 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 looking for a way  to take me through the ni—ght
 But I couldn't get it right,  no I couldn't get it  right--
 LA fever, made me feel alright
 But I must admit it got the best of me
 Gettin' down, so deep I nearly drowned
 I can't get back to where I used to be
 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 looking for a way to take me through the ni--ght
 But I couldn't get it right, no I couldn't get it right--
 Instru:
 New York City, took me with the tide
 I nearly died from hospitality
 Left me stranded and took away my pride
 Just another know it all fatality
 (Chorus 3X to fade)
