[Verse 1]
Bm
Stumbled up the alley over
Bm
tins and wires and broken boxes
A G
Left for us to trip across
Bm
Another bunch of rotten bad luck
Bm
you can't win man what'd I tell you?
A G
Mucking hands can have a cost
[Chorus 1]
D
First soaring then collision
G Bm
Like my television stories
A G
all end up the same So we
D
just drink deep inhale and
G
cough Move on before it
Bm
wears off are we smarter
A G
than this shell game?

[Verse 2]
Bm
Up the street to Grand Avenue
Bm
end up at the water front
A
Where pollution's made the
G Bm
sky go black Never trust the
Bm
books and never screw the
Bm
ones who don't deserve it
A G
Slump let reflections play back
[Chorus 2]
D
First soaring then collision
G Bm
Like my television stories
A G
all end up the same So we
D
just drink deep inhale and
G
cough Move on before it
Bm
wears off are we smarter
A G
than this shell game?

G
It's no use kid I
G
can't stop bleeding
D
Take this old guitar
D
it's all I'm leaving
D
It's seen the Jersey
A
pines bright neon signs
G
And rode the Brighton line
G
I'll tell you what
G
you're up against
G
It's the toughest fucking
D
town I've ever seen
A
And you're going it alone
A
you're an outsider so
Em G
Keep your profile low
[Outro]
