A (x02220@1)                                 D (xx0232@1)Sooner or later when the            dawn was breaking
  The joint was jumping and the     walls were shaking
  Joey sneaked in the               backdoor way
Pretending he was with the band, he never used to pay
      E (022100@1)              
He was no great draw at pulling the chicks
           DHe (xx0232@1)used to lie against the wall like he was holding up the bricks
    E (022100@1) 
And all the things that guy used to do to get his kicks
         D (xx0232@1)He was a legand in his lifetime with the neighborhood kids

Settled down and got a job, then said "I'm leaving" one day
"I've gotta hang loose a while, take       care while I'm away."
EPeople (022100@1)said they'd seen him, they were nearly always wrong

           Away from the alleys, somewhere      I can think
Wash the    dirt from my hands, watch it        wash down the sink
It's a      strain on the brain living          close to the brink
Look at the brickwall gravestone where some     kid was sprayed
Saying    nobody could be bothered here to      rule o.k
Don't    believe it, don't believe it what they say on tv

             A (x02220@1)                                 DThere's (xx0232@1)no romance,                         no romance
        no romance                  there's no romance
        no romance,                         no romance
        no romance                          For joey in this city
