G Em
A F#m
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
A
Where dancers scraped the tears
F#m
Up off the streets dressed down in rags
A
Running into the darkness
F#m
Some hurt bad some really dying
E
At night sometimes it seemed
D
You could hear the whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us
E
Blame it on the truth that ran us down
A
You can blame it all on me Terry
D
It don't matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight
E
There was nothing left to say
A
But I hated him
E
And I hated you when you went away

Well laying here in the dark

You're like an angel on my chest

Just another tramp of hearts

Crying tears of faithlessness
D
Remember all the movies, Terry
C
We'd go see
Am
Trying to learn to walk like the heroes

We thought we had to be

Well after all this time

Stranded in the park
