I Hate Chicago
By Tor Hyams & Lisa Rothauser

What was I thinking
Why did I let her go
Just to go to a job
I already did in Chicago

Yeah. I’m heading home now. I can get the six a.m out.

I can still smell her hair
From when we hugged goodbye
Wondering why I'm not just staying here

We’re shooting inside now? Of course. She hates natural light. Hold on...

Will this phone call ever end?
Minutes, hours
How long has it been?
I don't think I can take much more
Every moment that passes
My heart hits the floor and

I gotta get out of here
Make an excuse
Jump out of this car
She couldn't have gotten too far
I bet I could catch her
If I didn't have to go to Chicago

I can't wait 'til Friday
That's when I see her again
I'll take her to dinner
A walk in the park on Friday

Stay there..what? Through Friday?! Hold on. Let me check my schedule. Fuck!

I can tell him I’ve got plans
That I just can't break
He'll understand.

If it was any other day, sorry, but...

I can't do Friday.
So listen I have to go
I'm almost home
Gotta get off the phone
I'll call you when I land
And we'll hit the ground running
I know that we can....so

I'll see you in Chicago.

Oh...no...
I hate Chicago
I can’t stand to get on one more plane
I hate Chicago
This trip is really messin’ with my brain

‘Cause it's in between here and there,
In the middle of nowhere
All because, she's not in...

Chicago!
I hate Chicago
They can have their bulls and their bears
Lakeshore drive is a parking lot
The windy city is not that hot
And fuck Wrigley Field...nobody cares!

I really really really hate Chicago!
The last place in the world I wanna be
A big old lake and a theater scene
They got the blues and two baseball teams
Truth be told, Chicago's not so bad...
But there's one thing Chicago doesn't have

She's not in Chicago
That's why I hate Chicago
I can’t go to Chicago
