Chicago

[Verse]
I thought that you thought
That we thought we were bound to each other
But it's not that way
We don't care about one another
Thunder and lightning showed me all the threats you weren't saying
Thunder and lightning, going to throw it all away
Thunder and lightning and you touched my life without warning
Oh, how I loved you, you loved me
Now, what are we thinking?
Thunder and lightning will burn you just as sure as I'm singing
Thunder and lightning, didn't know our love would end this way
You got your way, we're to blame, but that's OK
Another time, another place
It's one more game
After all is said and done
We'll overcome
The psychological setback
Of a time on the run
It hurt to see you play games
That were so one-sided
I dealt the cards but the aces
Were in your back pocket
Thunder and lightning won't let you alone until I'm paying
Thunder and lightning, didn't know our love could end this way

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.
