Chicago

[Verse 1]
All I do is think about you
I never did let go of what we were
Can't pretend I'll live without you
As I learn to live alone
Can't pretend I'll live without you
As I learn to live alone
Why can't I be a man about it
I've tried and tried to hide you from my heart
If I could just forget about us
If I knew just where to start
You're are my destiny

[Chorus]
What does it take
To win you back
To hold these arms once more
What can I say
To make you understand
You're still all I'm waiting for

[Verse 2]
At times I feel it's best without you
And times I still believe in you so much
After what I've been through without you
You'd think that I'd move on
But you're still my destiny

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
What does it take
Because we can't go back
Can't be like it was before
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms
What does it take
What will it take now
You're still my destiny

[Chorus]

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.
