Verse 1:
G# D#
Into the night on heels I stumble
Fm C#
Like a star about to shoot
G# D#
Catch me down the avenue like
Fm C#
A# dandylion parachute
G# D#
Release the hounds, chase my tail and
Fm C#
Treat me like renegade
G# D#
I'm as patient as a chain-reaction
Fm C#
But I am not afraid
Chorus:
G#
We're gonna leave all the troubles behind by the turnpike
D#
Going away, you know what it feels like
Fm C#
I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
G#
The rocks in my shoes won’t dig into my feet
D#
Free of the promises that I can’t keep
Fm C#
I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
Post chorus 1:
Fm
No matter what you say
D# C#
I can't shake off this fling
Verse 2:

Into the night I paint the city
Fm C#
In the colour of my eyeshade
G# D#
Walking with a papertiger

I am not afraid
