Verse 1
I (D major) was the (G major) (D major) (G major) (Asus4)
(D major) heart of Newark
I (B minor) (G major) was driving a (D major) truck
Delivering fifty pound (Dsus2) bags
(D major) These used high heels
I was out on a ledge
I (G major) was down on my (D major) luck
Empty (Asus4) as the (D major) skyline
in an old (A major) news (D major) reel
Take (A major) your sister's car, (Asus4)
head (A major) up Seven Lakes (D major) Drive (Dsus2)
(Asus4) Just to stare at something
that won't (A major) step back (D major)
(Asus4) Leav (A major) ing this place,
it's a goddamn (D major) birthright
Cause (G major) sometimes where (D major) you are
ain't exactly where you're at
(Asus4) Yeah (G major) sometimes where (D major) you are
ain't exactly (A major) where you're
(D major) at (Dsus2) (D major) (Dsus2)
(Asus4) Yeah (G major) I took a (D major) train to (G major) get here
(A major) that no (G major) southern boy (D major) could sweat
Walked from the subway (Dsus2) station
(D major) with a pebble (A major) in my (Dsus2) shoe
When (D major) the old man wasn't
lookin'
(G major) Yeah I snagged some street flower (D major) s
and I gave them to your mama
Hopin' she'd give (Asus4) them to (D major) you
Tell me, (A major) Maria, (Asus4) (A major) is the radio
(D major) playing some (Dsus2) (D major) of (Asus4) them
Bruce songs your father (D major) knew?
See, (Asus4) there's this heat wave
goin' through (D major) this city
(Asus4) Prop (G major) the fan up in the (D major) window,
let it dance (A major) around the (D major) room
Prop (Gsus2) the fan (G major) up in the (D major) window,
let it dance (A major) around the (D major) room
(Dsus2) (D major) (Asus4)
Yeah, he'll lie (G major) to you (D major) like
(G major) the New York (D major) Post
(Asus4) Eye you at the (D major) corner store
and strike your heart with fear
I will lie to you like
(G major) some foolish (D major) poem
And when the bombs blow up Broadway
I will whisper (Asus4) in your (D major) ear
Janie, don't (Asus4) worry, it (D major) ain't nothin'
Hearts (Asus4) like ours, we (A major) (D major) can't take
see there's this (Asus4) heat wave
going through (D major) this city
looks and sounds (A major) like our big break (D major) (G major) (D major)
I (G major) was in the (D major) heart of Newark
I (B minor) (G major) was driving a (D major) truck
delivering 50 -pound bags
these used high heels
I was out on a ledge
(B minor) I (G major) was down on my (D major) luck
empty (Asus4) as the (D major) skyline
in an old news (A major) reel.
(D major) (Asus4) Empty is the skyline.
Outro 1
(Asus4) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) (D major)
