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