Here is the opening progression, picked ballad style (D-F#-D-A-F#-C-D)
e               0/2                                           0/2

      Oh                            h'whoa                  oh-ooh


The intro is sort of improvised throughout the song. The chorus is
picked
in the same style, but the progression is D-F#-D-A-F#-C-D-F#-D-A-F#-C-D.

Same chords, slightly different/extended  progression

The buildup ("It was sad--oh...") is a strummed, sweeping progression
that
goes like this:  F#-G-D-A-F#-G-D-A, ending with the chords F#-C-D as
they are played to end the chorus and intro.

When the lights go down in the city,
And the sun shines on the bay,
Ooh I wanna be there in my city--oh-whoa
Oh, h'whoa, oh-ooh

So you think you're lonely,
Well my friend I'm lonely too,
I wanna be there in my city by the bay,
Oh, h'whoa, oh-ooh

(Chorus)

It was sad--oh
there's been mornings
out on the road without you
without your charm, oh-whoa
my my my my na na,
Oh, h'whoa oh-ooh

(Chorus x2)

I think this is one of Journey's coolest songs, personally, and it's
fairly simple.
