C#m E F# A C#m E F# A
Beat up little seagull, on a marble stair.
C#m E F# A C#m E F# A
Tryin' to find the ocean, lookin' everywhere.
C#m E F# A C#m E F# A
Hard times in the city, in a hard town by the sea.

Ain't nowhere to run to, well there ain't nothin' here for free. No.

C#m A F# A C#m E F# A
Hooker on the corner, waitin' for a train.
C#m E F# A C#m E F# A
Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk, sleepin' in the rain.
C#m E F# A C#m E F# A
And they hide their faces. And they hide their eyes.
C#m E F# A C#m E F# A
'Cause the city's dyin'. and they don't know why-y.

They buy a big old wagon, to haul us all away.
C#m F# A C#m E F# Amaj7
Living in a country, where the mountain's high.

Never comin' back here, 'til the day I die.
