You're out on the pull and it's making you yawn

Standing in the borough markets selling straws
C5           G5                A5      G5 * F5
People just stare at you and gawp
C5                        G5                      
You'd like to say you're wasted,
         A5       G5 *  F5                    D5          F5
but it's not the alcohol that's making you feel like a flat spare wheel

There's always somebody else you're dying to meet
C5                         G5         
And you're always getting older
           A5               G5 *  F5            D5   F5
That's the deepest thought you can commit to paper

As the nights get later
