Chicago

[Verse 1]
After he hurt you, you said you were leaving
You got up to walk out the door
The story he's telling you, you weren't believing
You've certainly heard it before

[Chorus 1]
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad
I can't take it, it's making me mad

[Chorus 2]
Say the word and I will rescue you
(Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you

[Verse 2]
I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken
It's only a matter of time
And I know you're giving him more than you've taken
You've come to the end of the line

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 3]
Something missing in your life, tell you what I say
Blues are on the run and help is on the way
Something missing in your life, tell you what I'll do
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you
I'm gonna rescue you

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 3]

[Chorus 2]

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
