[Verse]
(With intro chords)
There's empty cans on River Street, 
scumbag city blues
Sunday morning's indiscrete, 
Saturday left clues
Last night's claps and filthy slaps 
need oh no excuse
Are you cutting out or holding back 
a loop hole or a noose

[Pre-Chorus]
       A              A
Get me out, oh get me out
          G               G
Cause I'm here to bruise
          A              A
Oh get me out, oh get me out
        G             G
Of this scumbag city

Just another howling wolf on the 
killing floor below
Oh no lie you'll find in the first 
line I should have quit you long ago
All those angel eyes with the red 
neck ties wanna see me fall on my 
face
And no lie you'll find I despise 
everything about this place

[Pre-chorus]
       A              A
Get me out, oh get me out

          A              A
Oh get me out, oh get me out
       G             G

[Solo]
                A
And when you're lying in your hotel,
        A
Thinking "good riddance to that"
     G                          
Well something creeps inside you 
             G
yeah honey oh something pulls you 
back
    A                          
But it ain't the one way system 
                A
that's got you uh coming back around
 no
G                                 
It's all those friends and family 
            G
keeping the size eights on the 
ground

There's empty cans on River Street, 
scumbag city blues
Sunday morning feels complete,
When I get back to you
I could skip and give a miss,
That I'd never choose
Cause even though I take the piss
I'm glad the future's blue
Scumbag city blues, scumbag city 
blues (x6)
