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

I am not afraid

No matter what you do
