They've got cars

Big as bars
            Bm        G
They've got rivers of gold
        D
But the wind goes right through you
                      A
It's no place for the old

Broadway was waiting for me

Sinatra was swinging
                         A
All the drunks they were singing
   D             G
We kissed on the corner

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing 'Galway Bay'
        D          G
And the bells were ringing

You're an old slut on junk
       D            G         A
Living there almost dead on a drip
        D
In that bed

A            D
I could have been someone
         G
Well, So could anyone
            D
You took my dreams
                     A
From me when I first found you
            D
I kept them with me babe
           G

I've built my dreams around you
