A# C
Wait for me by the banshee tree
A# C
Let me be your wailing companion
A# C
Pass 'em on by, don't look 'em in the eye
A# C
Suicide Alley is callin'
F
You thought you were dreaming
C
You could wake up dead
G
And you'll never know what's real
F C
All this damage is runnin' loose in your head
G
And it really matters to me
[Chorus]
F5 C
Oh, no, baby don't go
A# F C
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
[Verse]
A# C
Downtown baby it's a million to one
A# C
You might as well name your poison
A# C
And stand in line by the exit sign
A# C
Suicide Alley is waiting
F C
You're a loose cannonball on a sinking ship
G
From the belly of the beast, shot from the hip
F C
But you don't have to be going down the dark hall
G
You're not tied to the chair, you're not nailed to the wall
[Chorus]
F5 C
Oh, no, baby don't go
A# F C
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
[Solo]
C A# F C
C A# G C
[Verse]
A# C
Sitting naked by the window in the middle of the night
A# C
I can see you wearing your halo
A# C
If only in the daybreak of the dirty street light
A# C
I know baby wasn't born to follow
F C
You know I wasn't born I was spat out at a wall
G
And nobody even knew my name
F C
The sun hatched me out, cradle and all
G
On the corner of First and Insane
F C
For the souls of the departed and the renegades of love
G
You and me we gotta be all we dreamed of
F C
In the ruins of mischief through the ravages of time
G
You got a place in this world of mine
[Chorus]
F5 C
Oh, no, baby don't go
A# F C
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
