F#m7 B9
In the streets of New York City every man can feel the cold,
F#m7 B9
and I don't want no pity, but I want my story told.
F#m7 B9
And the lights shine down on me, they shine on the little boy,
F#m7 B9
is this the way to make him pay being born in a world of joy?
A Amaj7
But like me,he don't know where he'll go wrong,
Bm7
he won't cry so many tears
Dm
till he finds out why he don't belong
A Amaj7
like me, there's no room for us out there,

you can lose your hope and pride,
Dm F#m7
when it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share.

Sometimes a man breaks down,

Make the lights shine down on us, show us the road to go,
F#m7 B9
help us survive, make us arrive, teach us what we need to know.
