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

Post chorus 2:
Dm
No matter what you do

I can't shake off this fling
