G#m7 C#9
In the streets of New York City every man can feel the cold,
G#m7 C#9
and I don't want no pity, but I want my story told.
G#m7 C#9
And the lights shine down on me, they shine on the little boy,
G#m7 C#9
is this the way to make him pay being born in a world of joy?
B Bmaj7
But like me,he don't know where he'll go wrong,
C#m7
he won't cry so many tears
Em
till he finds out why he don't belong
B Bmaj7
like me, there's no room for us out there,
C#m7
you can lose your hope and pride,
Em G#m7
when it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share.

Sometimes a man breaks down,
G#m7 C#9
and the good things he is looking for

are crushed into the ground.

Make the lights shine down on us, show us the road to go,
G#m7 C#9
help us survive, make us arrive, teach us what we need to know.

But like me, he don't know where he'll go wrong,

E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7
Here am I one sad and lonely guy,
E Emaj7 E
one shadow of the man I used to be.
A
Now it's past, the love I thought would last
A B
you thought I had you chained, and now you're free.
E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7
I know it's wrong but I'm still holding on,
E Emaj7 E
still praying you will soon come back to me.
A
But then you go, you let your feelings show;
A B
you said I gave you pain, and now I see.
[Chorus]
E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7
But baby, as you turn away, I will always

think of what we had together.

making me fall, making me try,
G#m A B
try to make you stay as you turn
E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7
away.
[Verse]
E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7
Now you're gone, this road I walk upon is

just another place where I can hide.
A
I'm still your man, there's proof of who I am;
A B
except without your love I'm dead inside.
