Verse 1:
D A
Into the night on heels I stumble
Bm G
Like a star about to shoot
D A
Catch me down the avenue like
Bm G
E dandylion parachute
D A
Release the hounds, chase my tail and
Bm G
Treat me like renegade
D A
I'm as patient as a chain-reaction
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm G
I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
Post chorus 1:
Bm
No matter what you say
A G
I can't shake off this fling
Verse 2:

Into the night I paint the city
Bm G
In the colour of my eyeshade
D A
Walking with a papertiger
Bm G
I am not afraid

No matter what you do

I can't shake off this fling
