Verse 1:
G D
Into the night on heels I stumble
Em C
Like a star about to shoot
G D
Catch me down the avenue like
Em C
A dandylion parachute
G D
Release the hounds, chase my tail and
Em C
Treat me like renegade
G D
I'm as patient as a chain-reaction
Em 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
Em 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
Em C
I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
Post chorus 1:
Em
No matter what you say
D C
I can't shake off this fling
Verse 2:
G D
Into the night I paint the city
Em C
In the colour of my eyeshade
G D
Walking with a papertiger
Em C
I am not afraid
(repeat chorus + post chorus 1)
Post chorus 2:
Em
No matter what you do
D C
I can't shake off this fling
