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