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

A#m
No matter what you do

I can't shake off this fling
