(Am) Concrete jungle (Em) under our feet,
(G) Our hearts are racing with (D) every beat.
[Chorus]
(G) Concrete Jungle Beat, (D) it’s our own drum,

[Verse 2]
(Am) Graffiti walls tell (Em) untold tales,
(G) In the city that never (D) sleeps nor fails.
(Am) Echoes of laughter, (Em) whispers of dreams,
(G) Beneath the stars, and (D) neon beams.
