Chicago

You had it so good for so long
You thought you were so very strong
You had too much glory
Just a little too much too soon

You thought you could never be wrong
She would always buy your song
What a sad, sad story
It's an age old story

Every man will get his chance
To play the fool
Every time he takes a chance
And thinks he's cool

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
And you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you

If you're so afraid to be loved
Because you see too much
What a sad, sad story
But you brought it upon yourself

You gave it all up for fun
Now you got nowhere to run
With your sad, sad story
It's an age old story

Every man will get his chance
To play the fool
Every time he takes his chances
And thinks he's cool

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
Sonny think twice

Now you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you

Don't think that she don't care
'Bout your Saturday night affair
And you better watch out
Somebody is gonna be there

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone

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.
