Verse 1:

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

Into the night I paint the city
C#m A
In the colour of my eyeshade

Walking with a papertiger

I am not afraid
