Intro
I'm not sure if this is 100% right, but I couldn't find it anywhere so had a go.
F Dm
Dm Am
Small town girl, small town girl
D Am
Passed by empty parts unkind and in a small town world
G7 Am A# F
To the streets of New York City, pull some triumph in your mind
G7 Am A# C
And our liberty, unladen found in you is so unkind
Dm Am
People change, as bidden little girls
F7 Am
Did you want some other promise, small town girl
Gm A# C
In a search for liberation
A#
All the children in the wind
Gm C A# C7 F
Where a small town congregation cast you out or let you in
Chorus
C7 Gm F
No you don't have to say
C7 D# F
I know where I go astray
D# A#
It was gunna go down anyway
F D# F
I only wish that I could've known what I know now today
(same as verse 1)
As a boy, as a boy
Well I was just so serious, as a boy
And all the streets of New York City,
Shut me right down to my core
Now I've been battered scared and broken
But I'm not scared anymore
No you don't have to say
I know where I go estranged
It was gunna go down anyway
I only wish that I could have know what I know now today
Instrumental
yeah yeahhh
da da dada da da da
da da dada da da da
No you don't have to say?
I know where I go astray
No you don't have to say
I know where I go astray
It was gunna go down anyway
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
