Lyrics Standing here at Montreal's gate number nine Counting coins I saved up working overtime Just to call and hear your voice, one more time But the news you gave me made my spirit pine You found someone else, halfway down the line And my chest feels tight when I hear you say That you're settling down in a brand new way With someone special waiting in Chi-town What's Chicago got that I don't? What's Chicago got that I can't give? What's Chicago got that I don't? Baby, tell me how to live Every penny dropped in payphones far and wide Every promise made beneath the bridge that night Now I'm watching planes take off into the sky While announcement voices echo bye and bye All these years of saving change to stay in touch All these miles between us growing way too much Now you tell me that you've found another love And my world's dissolving into static buzz What's Chicago got that I don't? What's Chicago got that I can't give? What's Chicago got that I don't? Baby, tell me how to live Ohhh, the change in my pocket's getting heavy And my heart's getting lighter with each call I don't make 'Cause you made your choice, and it wasn't me And these coins can't buy back what's at stake Now I'm standing at departure gate alone While you're building something new in a midwest home Guess I'll give these coins to someone on the street 'Cause there's nothing left for me to do but leave And I wonder as I board my empty flight If you ever count the change on lonely nights But I know the answer's clear as day can be You found what you wanted in the Windy City What's Chicago got that I don't? What's Chicago got that I can't give? What's Chicago got that I don't? (Baby, tell me how to live)
