In the streets of New York City every man can feel the cold,

and I don't want no pity, but I want my story told.
C#m7 F#9
And the lights shine down on me, they shine on the little boy,
C#m7 F#9
is this the way to make him pay being born in a world of joy?
E Emaj7
But like me,he don't know where he'll go wrong,
F#m7
he won't cry so many tears

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

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

A Amaj7 A6 Amaj7
Here am I one sad and lonely guy,
A Amaj7 A
one shadow of the man I used to be.

Now it's past, the love I thought would last
D E
you thought I had you chained, and now you're free.
A Amaj7 A6 Amaj7
I know it's wrong but I'm still holding on,

still praying you will soon come back to me.

you said I gave you pain, and now I see.

except without your love I'm dead inside.
