Intro: Eb,G#,Bb,Eb

Verse 1:
I've [Eb]lost all the time that I [G#]have in this world
I've [Eb]spent it unwisely, un[G#]wisely you [Bb]see
And I [Eb]can't get it back and I [G#]can't move forward
I'm [Eb]broken and I'm [G#]empty, it's [Bb]over for [Eb]me

Pre-Chorus:
If [G#]I could undo all the [Eb]wrongs that I've caused
[G#]Fall to my knees, pray for [Eb]swiftness and [Bb]just
For [Eb]I'm just a fool, a fool [G#]driven to dust
And the [Eb]world ain't [G#]gonna [Bb]change for [Eb]me

Verse 2:
So [G#]give me one more chance to prove these [Eb]problems and frustrations
Aren't just [G#]manifest in memories we're [Eb]destined to re[Bb]peat
A [Eb]second chance to prove I [G#]know right from wrong
I [Eb]swear I'll do things [G#]different but can't [Bb]promise to be [Eb]strong

Chorus:
So [Eb]come all you losers, you bastards and cheats,
[C]Vagrants, and barflies [Bb]down on the street
Follow this [Eb]path to sal[C]vation, vindi[G#]cation awaits
We're [Eb]marching on East [G#]Broadway [Bb]Street to[Eb]night

Intro

Verse 3:
If you could [Eb]look into this old face and [G#]try to see the young man
I [Eb]swear I once was pretty, not the [G#]monster you now [Bb]see
But I [Eb]squandered all my chances, lost my [G#]faith and took for granted
This [Eb]life and precious [G#]one chance, the [Bb]whirlwind I'll [Eb]wreak
