Chicago

Where were you?
When I was following someone
I should have been fallin' in love with you

I was doing all right in my own little world
Suddenly you were there
Upside down, turned around
Wasn't looking for anything new

I've got the heart and the hand of a sweet little girl
I just have to be fair
But my heart it can't hide
What it's feeling inside
When it's true

Where were you?
When I was following someone
I should have been falling in love with you
And now, it's too late!
'Cause my heart is true
I gave it away, now, I'm looking behind me
And dreaming of you
Are we stronger than fate?

I ain't askin' you to save me
I'm a weaver of my own web
I don't know what to do
But just try to get on with my life

Where were you?
When I was following someone
I should have been falling in love with you
And now, it's too late!

'Cause my heart is true
I gave it away, now, I'm looking behind me
And dreaming of you
Are we stronger than fate?

Are we two lovers
Who found each other
Just a moment too late
Are we stronger than fate?
We'll never know!

Where were you?
When I was following someone
I should have been falling in love with you
And now, it's too late!
'Cause my heart is true
I gave it away, now, I'm looking behind me
And dreaming of you
Are we stronger than fate?

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.
