Intro: C-F/C G/B-F/C
I've been w[C]alkin' these streets [/G]so [-C]long,[/G-C] singin' the same [/G-]old s[C]ong
[/G-C]I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Br[G]oadway
Where h[F]ustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the r[C]ain[F/C-C]
There's been a l[G]oad of compromisin', Lord on the r[F]oad to my hor[C]izon
But [F]I'm gonna be where the l[D/F#]ights are shinin' on [G]me

Well, I re[C]ally don't mind t[/G]he [-C]rain, [/G]and [-]a sm[C]ile can hide [/G]all [-]the p[C]ain
But yo[/G]u're[-] d[C]own when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the l[G]ong way

With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my s[C]hoe[F/C-C]
